Meet
Tony Zacconi
Tony Zacconi, owner of Sala San Marco Events and Conference Centre, has spent nearly 25 years in the food service industry. He began as a busboy in 1987 when Sala San Marco first opened its door under the ownership of Tony’s parents, Joe and Gina.
He then worked he way up the “front-of-the-house’ ladder working as a waiter, captain, and maitre’d developing a breadth of knowledge in classic table service, wines, cognacs, and sales.
In 2001 Tony set out on his own and opened La Vecchia Trattoria on Preston St. He built the business from the ground up on the principles of serving traditional Italian cuisine using the best available ingredients in a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere. It was a winning combination, making it one of Ottawa’s favourite Italian restaurants.
In February of 2009, Tony purchased Sala San Marco from his parents. He has continued the Sala San Marco ideology of providing the highest standard of food and service while continuing to modernize the brand as a whole.
Tony has built an amazing core team of talented individuals who have helped make Sala a leader in the industry. One of Tony’s proudest moments occurred when Sala’s excellence was recognized by Ottawa Wedding awards when given award for “best venue”.
