Major Food Group

Founded by culinary provocateurs Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick, MFG has exploded from its New York roots into a global empire boasting 40+ restaurants, private clubs, bars, hotels, and luxury residences—proof that they’re not just playing the game, they’re redefining it.
Their portfolio includes:

• Carbone – The crown jewel of Italian‑American dining; think spicy rigatoni, table‑side Caesar, and veal Parmesan… with locations from NYC to Miami, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Riyadh, and Dubai .
• Parm – Your classic comfort fave: sandwiches, pasta, garlic-loaded goodness; set in casual digs across New York, Boston, and Las Vegas .
• ZZ’s Clam Bar – The seafood‑and‑cocktails little sister of Carbone; shellfish, caviar, crudo—mic drop in dive form .
• ZZ’s Club – A velvet‑rope, members‑only social lair. Miami and NYC’s Hudson Yards host exclusive Japanese fare and Carbone‑private dining. Yes, initiation fees and all the swagger .
• Sadelle’s – Bagels and brunch done as only MFG can: smoke-infused fish platters, decadent breakfast options, now with outposts in Miami and Las Vegas .
• Torrisi – A modern twist on Italian-American staples, born in Little Italy. Cozy, historic, and still Michelin-starred for that perfect dramatic dining feel .
• Dirty French, The Grill, The Lobster Club – Your Michelin‑adjacent-style spots: Dirty French brings upscale‑casual French flair, The Grill revives legendary mid‑century dining rooms, and The Lobster Club fuses Japanese brasserie vibes with slick design .
• Contessa – Northern Italian elegance meets Miami glam—for when you want sophistication with a side of sunshine .

VIP Access to Next-Level Hospitality
