"Occupying an entire city block a walk from the Cyclone, this longtime neighborhood restaurant still presents tuxedo‑clad waiters weaving between white-clothed tables while lobsters in a tank await their fate as fra diavola. Third‑generation chef Matthew Cutolo turns out canonical dishes like chicken francese and calamari oreganata; on the patio near a gazebo, neighborhood customers eat pizza and watch fireworks burst over the ocean, a picture of a place whose value is built over time through predictability and familial exchange." - Joshua David Stein
