Last week I attended “The Best of Both Worlds Dinner” at Zuccarelli’s Italian Trattoria in Palm Beach. There were eighty guests that enjoyed a sumptuous menu especially designed by Chef Daniel De La Cruz and paired by Sommelier Charlie Arturaola with wines from Chile, Italy, and the United States.

 Zuccarelli’s is a charismatic restaurant that offers a traditional Italian menu. The ambiance, décor and nightly entertainment are traditional Italian, and complement the delicious cuisine of Chef Daniel De La Cruz, who has the rare gift of turning out delightful classics like Veal Scallopini Marsalla, and Chicken Picata with absolute perfection.  After twenty eight years in Miami, the Zuccarelli family opened the doors to this new location in Palm Beach, and Olympia, the Owner, commented ‘It took us twenty-eight years to get this correctly, and we are very pleased with the results’. Their new Trattoria has been an instant success, and has a strong local following. The restaurant was very busy on a Thursday night, and the special event dinner I attended was a sold-out affair. Guests enjoyed an Italian dinner-celebration accompanied by singing and dancing. Olympia, also the general manager, offers special event-dinners regularly that are very well attended. You need a reservation and spaces fill quite fast. If you plan to attend, make sure to contact Olympia for the upcoming event calendar, and reserve your seats in advance.
Mangia Benne!
