About the Organization
We believe that to truly eat well, you must not forget the importance of l'ambiente, la compagnia, and l'ingrediente - the atmosphere, the people, and of course, the ingredients - all essential to the Italian experience.
Zanti honors the Italian tradition of bringing together the best of each day, from the thoughtfully chosen ingredients to the families gathered in conversation to share their stories and their meal.
