New York City restaurateurs Pietro and Kelly Molendini took over the classic St. James farmhouse turned restaurant. The former co-owners of Vite Vinosteria in Astoria, Queens, who had moved from the city to Centerport, spent the summer renovating the dining room to a modern, clean look with neutral tones and contemporary artwork from Pietro Molendini's native Rome. They also expanded the bar from about four to 11 seats.Pietro Molendini has spent 30 years in the food industry, with a decade of that at Cipriani and stints at both Bar Pitti and Da Silvano. Along the way, he met chef Fabian Garcia Manca, who eventually headed the kitchen at Vito Vinosteria and now joins the Molendini’s in St. James. Kelly Molendini said Manca and her husband scour the tristate area and beyond for ingredients. "They are never home," she joked, and said that the pair source some of their meat from the Bronx, burrata from New Jersey and dried pasta from Italy and Sicily.Closed 11/17/2022 for private party

This was my first time dining here and I truly enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience. Justin was our waiter and was very attentive to our needs. He made excellent recommendations to start. For appetizers we started with baked clams, calamari, and the meatball. The baked clams were absolutely delicious. The peach blossom drink was a fan favorite at our table. The mulfadine pasta was a hit as well as the salmon, chicken parm, cacio e pepe, and the zucchini fritto! Justin was on top of our needs for refills and cocktails! The basil ice cream paired with the olive oil cake was a delicacy that was enjoyed throughout our table! A few tiramisu’s and cappuchinos and we were good to go! What a wonderful dining experience! We will be back!

Exceptional dinner. Our server not only knew their stuff but sold every item on the menu. A vast knowledge of the food severed. My drink was never empty. My stomach either. An absolute delight. I’ve never felt a better value for my buck. I wish I could recommend it more than I am now.

Delicious food, on the small side for portions, and felt a little rushed. But it was a Friday night before Christmas so maybe that was why? Still loved everything and would visit again. Maybe at a less busy time though.
