Publisher Description
On the Rocks chronicles the real-life journey of restaurateur Joseph Costanzo Jr., from his rise to success in the 1990s as a owner of the highly acclaimed Primadonna Restaurant, radio host, columnist, and aspiring politician to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in an investigation and a stint in federal prison. Costanzo is a complex character, whom readers will admire for his confidence and rebuke for his arrogance, will love for his generosity and despise for his egotism, and will learn from in both his attention to detail and lack thereof. This driven, not-your-average-Joe is an unforgettable character who achieves the seemingly impossible but can't help getting in his own way. Come along with Joe for a bumpy ride on the Rocks!
Customer Reviews
On The Rocks…..
As a long time customer, but more importantly, friend to Joe, it was nice to relive the wonderful memories that were created there. From the early minor league years of being just a local joint to hitting the majors with one giant swing into the DiRoNA era, I am grateful that I was able to be a part of that. This book brought the highlights as well as the low into perspective. I couldn’t be happier to see that Joe is once again back on top where he belongs, with the writing of this book and all the good things coming with it!
Congrats to Joe, as well as Maria and Ruth, for a job well done!!!
