Abruzzo Tradition with a Modern Flair

Under the soft glow of Waltham’s Moody Street, Vinotta stood at the center of celebration as the prestigious Five-Star Diamond Award was formally presented to Chef and Owner Dante Bellucci. The evening was a fusion of culinary mastery, timeless Italian tradition, and the warmth of a community gathered to honor one of its finest.

Distinguished guests, civic leaders, and loyal patrons joined the Vinotta team as the honor was bestowed; a recognition reserved only for the world’s most exceptional establishments. Cameras flashed as Chef Bellucci proudly held the Star Diamond plaque, surrounded by his dedicated kitchen brigade, a symbol of the passion and precision that defines every plate leaving Vinotta’s kitchen.

The award ceremony was more than an accolade; it was a moment of unity. The Vinotta staff—dressed proudly in their whites and blues—stood shoulder to shoulder with their chef, embodying the spirit of dedication and teamwork that has elevated the restaurant into the national spotlight.
