Joe Bastianich Biography

Restaurateur Joe Bastianich, along with partners Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali, own thirty successful restaurants worldwide including Babbo and Del Posto in NYC and Carnevino in Las Vegas. In 2010, they expanded their famed LA eateries Pizzeria and Osteria Mozza to Singapore. Earlier that same year, the trio teamed up with Italian retail pioneer Oscar Farinetti to bring Eataly, the world’s largest artisanal food and wine market to New York, followed by the Chicago outpost in 2013.

Joe has co-authored two award-winning books on Italian wine and in its first week of release in May of 2012, Joe’s highly anticipated memoir, "Restaurant Man", became a New York Times Best Seller. A bold retelling of a life lived steeped in the ever-evolving New York City restaurant scene, Joe brazenly shares the adventures that took him from his family’s first “red sauce joint” in 1970’s Queens to the renowned culinary empire that is the Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group of today. He has received numerous accolades for his groundbreaking work in the field. In 2008, the James Beard Foundation honored him once again by presenting him and Mario with the much revered Outstanding Restaurateur Award.

Joe is currently a judge on FOX's "MasterChef" and Sky’s "MasterChef Italia." In 2016, Joe signed on for Italy’s premiere season of the universally adored franchise "Top Gear," which aired on Sky in the spring of 2016.

When Joe is not working the dining room at one of his many restaurants or whipping up new business ventures, he can be found at his home in New York City, playing guitar and spending time with his wife, Deanna, and their three children, whom he counts as his greatest achievements to date.

A Passion For Balance: One Man's Health Transformation

In his late thirties, Joe Bastianich’s passion for food and wine, including legendary middle-of-the-night feasts with Mario Batali, was killing him. He was overweight, with high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and sleep apnea. His doctors told him diabetes was around the corner. So Joe turned around. He started walking, then running – marathons! He lost 60 pounds. His secret? Good food and wine, in balance. Banish pasta? You’ve got to be kidding! Instead, Joe favors moderate portions of the delicious, artisanal foods that made him famous. He shies away from saturated fat, favoring plenty of vegetables, grains, and lean protein. He no longer eats late at night, and always has breakfast. Learn his secrets of his passion for balance, no dieting necessary.

As the owner of three vineyards, restaurateur Joe Bastianich knows a bit about wine. After all, he has been curating wine lists since he opened his first restaurant at age 23.
