Voltaggio Brothers Steak House will welcome Ryan Zimmerman for its next iteration of the “House Guest” series Thursday, Aug. 28. “House Guest” invites beloved chefs and friends into Michael and Bryan Voltaggio’s restaurant at MGM National Harbor for one-night-only culinary events.
During his 17-year career in baseball, Zimmerman was twice selected as an MLB All-Star, won one Gold Glove and two Silver Slugger awards, and was a World Series champion with the 2019 Nationals.
Together, the Voltaggio Brothers and Zimmerman will collaborate on an unforgettable evening for baseball fans and foodies featuring a decadent four-course menu, meet and greets and more.
The restaurant is located just across the river from Alexandria; visitors can take a water taxi or drive over via the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

“We’re so excited to partner with Ryan on this one-of-a-kind evening for our guests at Voltaggio Brothers Steak House,” said Chef Bryan Voltaggio. “Ryan is a pillar of the community, from his time on the diamond to all of his charity work, so it will be a treat to put on such a special evening for fans at the restaurant.”
The four-course dinner menu is $150 per person plus gratuity and tax (+$45/per person for optional wine pairing). Guests will be able to mingle with Zimmerman and the chefs and hear their inspiration behind each dish. As an added keepsake, each guest will receive an autographed item from Zimmerman.(Please note that no other items will be signed.)
Zimmerman said, “I’m thrilled to team up with Bryan and Michael for this unique event. I’ve long been a fan of their restaurants, so it’s exciting for me to be next up on the lineup for House Guest to create some fun memories.”
Chef Michael Voltaggio said, “A legendary third baseman as our third house guest, what could be better? Bryan and I can’t wait to share our home at MGM National Harbor with Ryan.”
