About the restaurant

Roberto Paciullo opened his namesake restaurant almost twenty years ago. Since then it has become a neighborhood favorite and a destination for those visiting Arthur Avenue. He prepares the cuisine of his beloved hometown Salerno, Italy. The specials change weekly and reflect Roberto's creative use of the local ingredients from pasta in cartoccio to the perennial favorite veal osso buco.
Now closed Mondays for the time being.

The food was delicious. It was a group of three. We ordered the seafood tower, crab cakes, salad, tuna tartar, marinaded skirt steak with asparagus and creamed spinach for appetizers and main course. For dessert I ordered Jake’s warm bread pudding, wow. The food was delicious and the presentation was amazing. The service was excellent. I will definitely come back

An homage to Hip Hop, the Boro and the culture that created it!
