GIULIO'S:
This enchanting Queen Anne Victorian mansion located in the charismatic town of Tappan, still hypnotizes everyone who enters. The famous Giulio’s has been here since 1969 with Beny here for 3 years. The full service bar presents a wine list with an assortment of domestic & imported wines, including specialty Italian wines & creative cocktails such as my favorite, the CHOCOLATE MARTINI. The dining room’s roaring fireplace sets just the proper mood for the marvelous dining experience yet to come & reminds me of my trip to Rome...
MARIO'S OF ARTHUR AVE:
I have been writing about this restaurant since the 1980’s & I still get happy butterflies when I’m assigned to return, as they set the famed Arthur Avenue bar for class & dining elegance, along with the best parties in the entire area. Chef Massimo Calso presents a bevy of classic Italian selections that enchanted our critics. Host-owner Regina Migliucci Delfino is the great-great granddaughter of Scolastica, who concepted the original family pizza restaurant in 1919. Scolastica would certainly be thrilled with the cuisine at the restaurant now, that is modern, but retains the old school favorites, that are loved by their loyal clientele...
