About Tom (“Mastro”) Mastrianni

What is it about Tom Mastrianni that makes him stand out above the rest? A passion for everything he does. Whether it’s being the lead singer in a rock band or creating an unforgettable film character as an actor or running a highly successful audio/visual company since 1988, Tom Mastrianni infuses his powerful energy and incredible enthusiasm into everything. He is an enigma… a rare combination of million dollar charm and raw magnetism. It’s no wonder those closest to him gave him his unique and well-deserved title “Mastro.”

Born in Brooklyn to a large Italian family, Thomas Mastrianni is about as New York as you can get! He developed a discriminating palate for pure authenticity as a result of being exposed to diverse ethnic tastes from the multi-cultural neighborhoods of his home town. His mom, who never served the same dish twice, piqued his curious creativity for cooking, while his grandfather, who exposed him to the family art of wine making, sparked Tom’s enthusiasm for wine. He quickly recognized the relationship between food and wine and grasped the concept of pairing at an early age.

By age 18, Tom was developing his culinary skills as a sous chef. It was here that his creative talents became apparent with such creations as Au Bon Chicken, Pignoli Crusted Blackened Swordfish and his ever so popular Mastro Burger. He traveled throughout Germany and France during the late 90’s sampling the regional fares and then spent the next four years touring California’s vineyards. He presently resides on Long Island, NY’s North Shore where he continues studying wines and honing his connoisseur’s palate.

“Wine & Dine with Mastro” is the culmination of Tom’s life passion for great food, great drinks and great times. His mission is to show you how to put these three “Greats” together to create the Exceptional!
