Bonanno says he “is inspired by classic French techniques, but also by the simplicity of the type of food found in the best American restaurants.” Continuing with this them of simplicity in cooking, he believes in offering “clean flavors that enhance the freshest, finest ingredients.” Both of these statements perfectly sum up Bonanno’s cooking philosophy that the true “star” of his restaurants is the food.
