creator of Bar Cichetti, known as "America's First Venetian Wine Bar". It was established in 1998 by Zwicke and Tom Taraci. Daniel served as the Chef, wine director, and managing partner. Bar Cichetti aimed to recreate the experience of a Venetian bacaro (wine bar) in New York City, specializing in Venetian food and Italian wine. Reviews from the time noted its cozy atmosphere and delicious food, with highlights like the Sarde en Soar, Lasagna, and Pasta with Duck Ragu.
It's important to note that while Bar Cichetti was a significant part of Bellino Zwicke's career, it is no longer open under his operation. There's a restaurant in New York City currently operating as "Bar Cicchetti by Fabio Viviani" in Chelsea. This is a different establishment and should not be confused with Daniel Bellino Zwicke's original Bar Cichetti, "America's 1st Ever Venetian Wine Bar."

"BELLINO BEATS TUCCI" !!!
Several results connect "Bellino" with Daniel Bellino Zwicke, an author of Italian cookbooks, and "Tucci" with Stanley Tucci, an actor and also known for his culinary interests
.
The phrase "Bellino Beat Tucci" appears to refer to Daniel Bellino Zwicke discovering the Arco Wine Bar in Venice "by more than 27 Years" before Stanley Tucci featured it as a favorite wine bar.
It seems the "competition" isn't a traditional fight, but a playful claim of precedence related to Italian food and wine culture, specifically the discovery of Arco Wine Bar.
