San Sabino is a seafood focused restaurant from wife and husband team, chefs Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli, in partnership with Quality Branded. After working in some of NYC’s top Italian restaurants and dreaming of opening their own special neighborhood spot, Angie and Scott opened Don Angie in 2018 to tremendous critical acclaim. They quickly became known for boldly unexpected dishes that challenge your perception of traditional Italian-American cooking.Six years later and just a few doors down from Don Angie, they've now opened their second restaurant, San Sabino. Named after Scott’s grandfather (from Sanza, Italy, where most people are named after the patron saint Sabino), San Sabino offers a playful spin on Italian dishes from Shrimp Parm to Pasta Alle Vongole, with bold twists influenced by coastal American cities where many Italians settled, from New Orleans to the Jersey Shore.

Beauty & Essex has an innovative design that starts in the restaurant’s entrance, a well-curated modern-day pawn shop replete with a saxophone, boom­box, quirky artifacts, vintage treasures, and an eclectic array of “one-off” pieces of jewelry. Continuing past the pawnshop, guests encounter a grand, circular staircase wrapped around a two-story custom chandelier, but only the adventurous will discover all that Beauty & Essex has to offer. With four distinct dining rooms (one private), two bars, a lounge, and a women’s bathroom complete with a salon including a luxurious sofa, and antique perfume bottles. The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course. Chef Chris Santos was one of the pioneers of the small, share plate dining trend that has swept the nation, and with the Beauty & Essex menu, he once again has created waves on the food scene.

    My husband and I came here for our 6th year anniversary. We found out about this place on Tik tok. The staff was friendly and the ambiance was pretty. We ordered Blue Hawaiian Cocktail and Hennessy colada. The drinks were good and had a buzz to it. For appetizer, we ordered the Korean BBQ wings. It was delicious! We were served bread as well kinda like Hawaiian bread. Note if you go before 5 pm - you have no choice but to order brunch which we didn’t know in advance. We still were able to pick yummy choices which were curry goat & rice and jerk chicken and rice and peas. The food was flavorful and delicious. The portion for the curry goat could’ve been better for the price though. The bill was decent and they automatically added a 20 percent gratuity for a party of 2 and charged us a card fee even though we paid cash. Overall it was a good experience and we would come back.
