Description
Opened in 1982, the restaurant is run by chef and owner Joseph Napolitano, who took over the business started by his father. The menu features plates like veal francese and lasagna, drawing on traditional NYC Italian neighborhood influences that have largely vanished from trendier spots. The layout pairs a small, attractive dining room with a snug bar area, welcoming a mix of solo diners, couples on dates, and family celebrations.
