STYLE
Sicilian staples served in a luxurious atmosphere. Tasteful suspended fixtures softly light the multiple dining rooms and synthesize with soft, blue mood light beamed through bottles at the bar under a romantic, starry ceiling.
THE SCOOP
What started as a small muffuletta-style sandwich stand in Brooklyn more than 30 years ago has grown into a family-focused restaurant on our side of the Lower New York Bay.

THE MENU
Lunch features traditional Italian appetizers such as baked clams, caprese salad and minestrone. There are creamy frittatas (such as spinach, cherry tomato and feta) and personal-size pizzas. The truffle pie comes with arugula, prosciutto, truffle oil and shaved Parmesan. Each pie is brought to your table on a hot wooden platter to keep it oven fresh. Entrées include penne in rich vodka sauce and a tender pork chop oreganata. For dessert, try the rainbow-cookie cake, inspired by Italian seven-layer cookies, or the sweet and buttery crème brûlée.
HEADS UP
Football Sundays present the novelty of Buffalo-spiced everything. Watch the game on a big screen from one of the high-top tables in the lounge as you nibble on spicy Buffalo wings, Buffalo chicken pizza or crispy Buffalo calamari.
