Pastosa Ravioli 🇮🇹
I’ve been going since I was a kid in Staten Island. My mom always tells me my grandpa changed the recipe 🤭❤️ if you’re Italian you already know how delicious this establishment is
Gotta add the peach tea 😘💋
rating: 10/10
Having grown up in Staten Island, I've always found a special place in my heart for authentic Italian eateries like this one. The Big Al, especially number 26 on the menu, is a standout choice—rich in flavor and comfort, even without the balsamic glaze, it remains incredibly satisfying. What makes this experience more meaningful is knowing the recipe has a family history, passed down and lovingly adjusted by generations. Pairing the meal with San Benedetto Peach Ice Tea adds a sweet, refreshing balance that perfectly complements the rich pasta flavors. For anyone exploring Italian cuisine in the Brooklyn and Staten Island area, including a drink like this enhances the dining experience. From my visits over the years, I can say that the authenticity and warmth you get from such places go beyond flavors; it’s the stories and traditions infused into every dish. If you ever get a chance, try the Big Al with pastosa ravioli and the peach iced tea—you'll understand why it's rated a perfect 10/10 by longtime locals and visitors alike.
