The TEAM

Brandon Belluscio

Co-Founder

The restaurant business is in Brandon Belluscio’s blood. Growing up, he absorbed the daily details of the industry and developed his charming front-of-house personality. Before meeting his current partners, he teamed with his dad, Ron, to create the acclaimed Catch 22 in Boca Raton.

“I learned so much from those years,” says Brandon. “But the most important truth is that your customers really are your guests. My philosophy is always about giving them more than they are expecting.”
For Brandon that means paying attention to every detail: from the creation of concept, to the design and decor, to the menu selections and pricing, to the overall vibe – the entire experience must be perfect.

“I think that one of the reasons we have been successful is because we as a team put a lot of forethought into what we are creating,” he says. “We have been praised for being innovative and bringing in new ideas, and we really do that because we listen to what people want next.”

Brian Albe

Co-Founder

Brian Albe is indeed the perfect mix! His creative cocktails are renowned for their distinctive style, and his ability to showcase the world’s finest wines at truly competitive prices has garnered him a stellar reputation among oenophiles. Now with the advent of Park Tavern, he had added to his repertoire sourcing the world’s finest craft beers.

“I adhere to our restaurants’ philosophy of being seasonally-inspired,” he says. “All my cocktails are handcrafted using only items that I am currently sourcing or producing myself…fresh from the farm fruits and homegrown herbs are the basis for the bar menu, and with the beers we are also going to be changing our offerings depending on the seasons as well.”

For wine lovers, Brian delights in being able to provide an experience that all levels of sophistication will appreciate.
“Nothing makes me happier than to talk to my guests about our selections,” he continues. “Whether I am discussing the qualities of certain vintage or introducing a new label to a guest, it’s all about creating the perfect experience for them.”

Anthony Pizzo

Co-Founder

There’s only one star in Chef Anthony’s kitchen and that’s the food! Although the critically acclaimed chef has received numerous accolades, his focus never strays from his commitment to his guests. He makes sure each and every experience at his restaurants is first class.

For Chef Anthony the art of creating a seasonally-inspired menu is something that energizes him.
“For me it’s all about the right ingredients at the right time,” he says. ” I am constantly in pursuit of the world’s finest quality meats, fish and produce, and I often source from local farmers. With each dish, my goal is to bring out all the incredible natural flavors, while also offering innovative combinations that offer new taste sensations.” Lauded for his creativity, Chef Anthony leaves nothing to chance, making everything from scratch in his kitchen.

“Going those extra steps to ensure that each dish is as consistent and as high-quality as possible is what makes the difference in our restaurants,” he says. “Whether my guests are enjoying a Lobster Pot Pie or a Cheeseburger, from the most elegant to the most casual, my philosophy never wavers. Being able to create for my guests is a privilege I truly enjoy.”
