Esperto Hospitality Group is expanding its portfolio with the launch of two highly anticipated venues: Catezza Italian Kitchen and Bar in Red Bank, scheduled to open by end of summer; and the newly acquired and very popular Il Nido in Marlboro.
Building on the success of their Centrada Cocina and Cocktails, also located in Red Bank, brothers and owner/partners John Dileo, president, and Anthony Dileo, vice president, are excited to bring Esperto’s latest ventures, which promise to elevate the region’s dining experiences while creating numerous job opportunities, reinforcing the brothers’ commitment to the communities.
Anthony Fiorentino, chief operating officer/partner for Esperto Hospitality, played a crucial role in the design and operations of both Centrada and Catezza, collaborating with AgenCe Design to create unique and innovative spaces for each concept. Each venue offers a distinctive atmosphere that enhances the overall dining experience.
Norman Reola, vice president, culinary/partner at Esperto Hospitality Group, expressed his enthusiasm: “At Esperto, we believe in crafting memorable dining experiences that resonate with our guests. With Catezza and Il Nido, we are bringing together the finest ingredients, innovative culinary techniques and a passion for hospitality. In addition to enriching New Jersey’s vibrant dining scene, our expansion will create numerous jobs, further embedding us within the community. We are excited to share our culinary vision with the communities of Red Bank and Marlboro.”
