Since 1936, four generations of Bevacquas, starting in 1936 with Grandpa Nicola, have made this their place of business--as well as an Italian family-style restaurant that makes great pizza and welcomes friends and family out on weekend nights. If pizza’s not what you crave, although that’s “sacrilege” according to the website, there’s a 12 page menu that includes jumbo Shrimp Calabrese to Chicken Martino with Romano cheese, roasted peppers, mozzarella cheese and asparagus and more.
The menu reflects the family’s roots which run deep through Calabria and Sicily. Even the simplest Pasta e fagioli soup is noteworthy with its tomato base and bits of sweet sausage floating amidst the pasta and beans. Lunch for two can be had for around $30 and there’s a note on the menu promising to “adjust” prices as the market allows.
