Well, the Dictionary is "The Last Word" so to speak, as far as Pronunciation is concerned, so it really can't be argued.
And on that note, I submit THIS for the inquiring mind.

Of course not, and don't call me...oh, nevermind!Shirley, you can't be serious!
Actually my surname was historically spelled "Cesarone" and pronounced "Chezzaronee" in Italian. My grandfather and his relatives arrived in the US in the early 1900's and kept it that way. My Dad didn't care for the literal English translation so he changed the E at the end to I. Provalone is another example of the same issue. My mother is Acadian (Irish French) so it worked for her. I pronounce it just like it's spelled if that helps. ))
I'm still working on how to pronounce "Jeroen".
The pronunciation I've heard from someone who talks with him with some frequency is "Yeroon"

BTW, Anthony pronounces his last name "Sezzaronee"

You are correct, it is pronounced Cheese-a-Roni.
This is right up there with the Mexican name Jorge, which is actually pronounced HOR' HAY.
Horhay, this is Yeroon. Yeroon, meet Horhay. You guys have a lot in common....
Funny. I also remember seeing an old spaghetti western, back in the B&W days, where a Mexican actors name was Jesus. But apparently they chose not to credit his name on the show as such, so they spelled it HAY ZOOS".

It's the absolute worst! Maybe he changed the name to cover his tracks and avoid blame.

They could have hinted at divinity if they had called him "Hey Zeus."
I don't think I've ever had a face-to-face conversation on the subject of Cesaroni motors, so I've never actually heard the name pronounced. Is the C pronounced like Ch, the E like an A or Eh sound, and the S like a Z sound? That is what I would assume --- something like Chezarony. Or are the C and S both S sounds --- Sesaroni? Or Seesaroni?
BTW, "Cheese-a-Roni" sounds like a nice alternative low-carb, high-protein San Francisco Treat. Ding! Ding!
