Steve Martorano gets his own jewelry line

First a restaurant, then a cookbook, then the TV talk show circuit. Now Steve Martorano has launched a jewelry line. Believe it. And it doesn’t look like spaghetti carbonara. The restaurant owner (Cafe Martorano in Fort Lauderdale) from Philly teamed up with Levinson Jewelers to create a line called Yo Cuz, after his urban catchphrase.

The collection was launched with a cocktail party; a percentage of the sales from the bling will be donated to the Urban League of Broward County. The so-called meatball king, with a spot in Las Vegas,  also did a signing for his Italian cookbook Cuz!: My Life, My Food, My Way.

During the event there was a special showing of the “Fist Bio Bike”, a custom built chopper that was commissioned by Fist Enterprises and designed by Paul Teutul, Jr. of Paul Jr. Designs. It was featured on the American reality television series American Chopper.

Cafe Martorano is a favorite of visiting and local celebs alike.
