Meat-loving Italian New Yorker, Danny Costanzo, saves his own life by going plant-based. And then... guess what he did? He went on to open a 100% Vegan Italian Restaurant — Plant-Based Mafia. Growing up in an Italian family in New York, Danny Costanzo grew up enjoying delicious comforting food and the way it brought his loved ones together. His dietary habits have shifted many times throughout his life — from eating everything, to becoming a raw foodist, to a diet which led him to 3 clogged arteries, and to where he is now with a vegan diet.
When you think of Italian food, you probably think of
cheesy pizza, parmesan on everything, and deliciously
creamy cannolis. Vegan may be the last word
that comes to mind.
That's why we're so excited to have him on the show to talk about
how he got started on a plant-based lifestyle and how it led to the
creation of his wildly successful Italian restaurant.
Danny shares what led him to change his diet a number of
times, and how food has had such a huge impact on his
cardiovascular health. You'll definitely want to listen to
this if you want to know how a vegan diet can
help improve and even reverse heart
disease!
He also shares his experience of growing up in an Italian family
where food is central to bringing everyone together, and how he
carried that welcoming philosophy into his restaurant.
By the end of the episode, you’ll want to find your way
to Florida to eat at Plant-Based Mafia sometime soon!
Happy listening,
