About Us
Cafe Z was established over 15 years ago with a very simple idea.... quality, homemade food. The original owner, Ron Racioppi, did a phenomenal job with the menu and his philosophy of fresh homemade pasta, sauces and desserts carried on throughout the years. Unfortunately, Ron passed away over 13 years ago and since then Patricia Inghilleri has taken over. Chef Jason and Patricia keep the tradition alive continuing to serve high quality, moderate priced food in a cozy welcoming atmosphere.
