“I love this place! It has such a cool and hip ambiance, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious! The presentation of the calamari was actually beautiful... it was plentiful, perfectly crispy and the peppers added so much life to a normally boring dish. For my entree, I ordered the linguine vongole - it was really good and they were generous with the clams,” said valued customer Priscilla.
Chef/Owner Nunzio fuses a lifetime of experiences into each one of his dishes. After attending the NY Restaurant School, (now known as The Art Institute) Nunzio landed a job at the Plaza Hotel. Under Chef Kerry Simon, known as “The Rock & Roll Chef,” he worked with some of the finest talent in NY, creating upscale cuisine with a European flair.

He was part of the opening team at the Brooklyn Marriott where he won hotel of the year awards in back-to-back years, and spent the last 7 years working for Wyndham as an executive chef.
“As someone born in Italy I hope to help reset people’s palates and evolve to a point where we’re known as a restaurant that offers true flavors from Italy, while patrons may come in for their old favorite dishes, we hope to expose them to other dishes they’d also enjoy but may never have tried,” said Chef/Owner Nunzio Cassara.
