ABOUT THE RESTAURANT:
Pinzone's Italian Downtown is a partnership bringing two passionate chefs together in a common goal to bring to you an authentic and bold Italian Cuisine. It is this philosophy that a true Chef must understand the ingredients and methods of any style of cooking before you can master that style or recipe. Italian cooking is the prime example of that philosophy.

Chef Dumas visited Italy to train under chefs there where he learned their methods and the culture of true Italian cooking. Chef Dumas, bringing back his experiences from Italy now wants to focus on the vast 2500 year history of Italian cooking to create his unique and authentic cuisine at Pinzone’s Italian Downtown. Chef Dumas's philosophy is that with Italian food, its about simplicity and having the unique and bold flavors speak for themselves.

SPECIAL EVENT INFORMATION:
Pinzone’s will be hosting a wine - wine dinner on December 11th featuring the blackberry ginger balsamic vinegar and truffle oil.

Pinzone’s has recently opened their deli, “Pinzone’s Deli,” also in downtown Fairhope.

ABOUT THE GUESTS:
The Happy Olive owner Vickie Bailey and her husband, Richard, became interested in this concept while traveling to visit their daughter in Italy, who is married to an Italian man with a family olive orchard. Vickie and Richard have made numerous trips to this orchard, where they have participated in many harvests bringing family and friends. They have grown passionate about the many health benefits of extra virgin olive oil & balsamic vinegars and are eager to share this concept with the community.

Pinzone’s Chef, Scott Dumas, is focused on bringing 2500 years of Italian cuisine using authentic Italian recipes, ingredients and Italian cooking techniques to historic downtown Fairhope for everyone to experience and enjoy. Mr. Dumas strives to ensure that your dining experience exceeds your expectations and will cheerfully try to take care of your every dining desire.
