Owners Mariam Shahsavarani and Matteo Lo Bianco combine Shahsavarani's memories of Persian food and culture with Lo Bianco's culinary finesse.
Chef/partner Matteo Lo Bianco and owner Mariam Shahsavarani talk before opening for dinner at Maman Zari, 4639 N. Kedzie Ave., Aug. 29, 2023, in Chicago. The Persian fine-dining restaurant has been open since late July.
Together with executive chef Matteo Lo Bianco, Shahsavarani offers omnivorous and vegetarian tasting menus, featuring nine courses imbued with the flavors of Iran. A wine pairing is also available, as well as wines by the glass or bottle, some cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks to go along with the food.The restaurant, which opened July 22, is the first by co-owners Shahsavarani and Lo Bianco.
For the better part of the last decade, Shahsavarani was working as a flight attendant. Before that, she was working in various coffee shops and cafes around Chicago. She also “grew up with parents in the food industry,” she said. Her experience with Persian food was more traditional, Shahsavarani said, growing up with home-cooked meals or trying Persian restaurants that were mostly serving casual, comfort food dishes. She said it wasn’t until she traveled through Iran and experienced dishes given different treatments that she thought of bringing a Persian fine-dining concept to Chicago, something she said she hasn’t “really seen” in the city.Late afternoon sun enters the dining room at Maman Zari, in Chicago.
