Our Story

Famiglio

Family.

Donato and George… our grandfathers. Lifelong friends who grew up together in New York's Little Italy, back when it was still a real neighborhood.

New York City  ·  Little Italy

"A neighborhood alive with street vendors and stickball games — at least until your mother stuck her head out the window and called you for supper."

Donato and George — the grandfathers behind the restaurant

Donato and George

A neighborhood where Italian grandmothers in black mourning dresses guarded their Sunday gravy recipe like a precious family heirloom.

A neighborhood where the front stoop was the scene of great debates over which baseball team had the best center fielder, and the fire escape witnessed many a first kiss — including our parents.

Tonight, we invite you to take a short subway ride to that time and place, and spend an evening with us back in the old neighborhood.

"The secret is in the gravy — and the company you keep."
