Team

Sam Agolino – President/Partner

Sam was thrown into the restaurant industry like a father throw’s his
child into a swimming pool. His wide spectrum of experience started at a
very young age working at his family’s restaurant Agolino’s in West
Pittston, Pa. Sam has always worked and thrived in the hospitality
industry. He opened PAZZO (route 315, Pittston, Pa.), his flagship
restaurant, more than a decade ago and continues to oversee daily
operations. He says opening Bar Pazzo is a long awaited “dream come
true.”

John Tabone – Executive Chef/Partner

With over twenty five years of experience, Chef John Tabone credits his
culinary passion for food from his Italian upbringing, where at a young
age, family values and food appreciation were instilled in him. Prior to
opening Bar Pazzo, John, a Pittston native, held the Executive Chef
position at Glenmaura National. He also shares his approachable, rustic
cooking style with clients for his private, educational program known as
Instinctive Cooking. When not cooking and creating, John enjoys time
with his three amazing children, Simon, Gloria and James.
