OC Restaurateur Named CNN Hero

LONG BEACH, CA, March 25, 2011

The Anaheim White House took front and center stage at the Southern California Restaurant Writers Awards ceremony held recently at The Madison in Long Beach. Among the honors captured by the critically acclaimed dining establishment were 5 Star recognition in both the brunch and fine dining categories, the Golden Bacchus Award (the top honor) for its extensive wine list and Manager of the Year Award for long-time General Manager Sylvano Serato.

"I am so proud of the recognition bestowed on the restaurant and especially the top honor presented to our hard-working general manager," said owner Bruno Serato. "The past few years have been particularly challenging for the Anaheim White House and all fine dining institutions, but it looks as though we may have seen the worst of it."

The Anaheim White House is located at 887 South Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim, Calif. Call (714) 772-1381 for reservations or visit http://www.anaheimwhitehouse.com.

Owned and operated by restaurateur Bruno Serato, the Anaheim White House has been hailed across the nation, from New York (New York Times) to right here in our own backyard (Orange County Register), by critics and the public alike for its artfully prepared Northern Italian/French cuisine. On a personal level, Bruno's dedication to his charitable organization, particularly his own Caterina's Club that feeds 200 underprivileged children each day, has earned international acclaim including a People Magazine feature story and prime network coverage on the CBS Evening News With Katie Couric.
