Gargiulo's

"Those are nuggets of filet mignon and chicken atop the perfectly-cooked spaghettini. There's no sauce here other than olive oil and garlic: what's better than that?"
Michael Stern






"Gargiulo's moved to its current location in the 1930s, but it opened in 1907, when Coney Island was a dreamy resort way out in the country."
Michael Stern



"This is a cool appetizer of proscuitto, mozzarella, and roasted peppers. The mozzarella is especially creamy -- a great contrast to the salty ham and briny red peppers."
Michael Stern



"Here's a destination restaurant if there ever was one. The neighborhood around Gargiulo's is - let's be kind - a bit shabby. But there's safe valet parking across the street, and once you step through the door, you are in the lap of luxury."
Michael Stern



"While Gargiulo's offers many elaborate ways to serve veal, there are times when basic is best. This simple breaded cutlet is known as veal Milanese."
