Tasting & Talking with The Primadonna Restaurant

Come join us for an unforgettable evening at The Kitchen by Vangura! This in-person event promises a night of good food, great music, and even better company. Join Chef Pino in the Kitchen with Joe Costanza, legendary owner of the Primadonna Restaurant, along with Maria Costanzo Palmer, and John & Rachael from Ya Jagoff!

We'll be cooking up menu favorites from Primadonna and telling stories with Joe, Maria, and the rest of the family. And we'll be talking about the new book On the Rocks: The Primadonna Story.

On the Rocks chronicles the real-life journey of restauranteur Joseph Costanzo, Jr., from his rise to success in the 1990s as owner of the highly acclaimed Primadonna Restaurant, radio host, entrepreneur, columnist, and aspiring politician to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in an investigation and a stint in federal prison.

Here's what we're cooking, with Johnny's twist on Joe's menu:

• Fresh Fried Zucchini

• Chicken Romano

• Sicilian Chicken Pasta with Sweet or Hot Peppers

• Rum Cake

• BYOB

This class is a chef’s dinner, so we will do the cooking, you do the eating. Enjoy this up close and personal dinner with Pino, Joe, and the whole family! Please let us know if you would like to be seated with guests under a different name.
