Confectionery, like music, is only as good as its foundation. As both a master confectioner and an accomplished jazz bassist, Romolo Chocolates frontman Tony Stefanelli has an exceptional feel for both disciplines.
Although the summer concert series he hosted at his West Eighth Street shop has been retired, Stefanelli s commitment to his craft has not. At 71, Stefanelli still plays the roles of student and teacher with equal verve, studying unfamiliar techniques (such as the fresh cremé truffle, which
almost looks too good to eat) while passing on those tried-and-true to his two sons, confectioner Roman and chocolatier/also-musician Anthony (who moonlights as drummer for The Groove).
