Fabio Viviani Hospitality
General Manager
Fabio Viviani Hospitality Group – Zingaro (Italian Restaurant and Bar)
About Zingaro
– Italian Restaurant and Bar Italians are storytellers, and every great story is fueled by adventure. Zingaro—the traveler, the wanderer, the free spirit—is the perfect name to capture the essence of a restaurant that takes your guests on a journey across Italy, one dish at a time. A menu inspired by the roads less traveled, from the smoky flavors of Sicily to the earthy truffles of Umbria, to the rich, buttery pastas of Emilia‑Romagna. Zingaro is about tasting it all, embracing the diverse, vibrant, and bold flavors that make Italy a culinary treasure. This name is more than a nod to the gypsy spirit—it's a celebration of culinary wanderlust, where each dish tells a tale of tradition and innovation. Come for the vibe, stay for the food!
