• Italian • St. James
Booked 8 times today
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

    We went for valentine’s day dinner, and it was great. I will definitely be back. The branzino was fantastic, i would also recommend the filet mignon. Our server is was great and the food did not take too long. The cocktails did take awhile to come, which i do understand they were very busy. We are looking forward to going back soon and trying more items on the menu. One thing i would criticize would be the valet, i understand they are swamped on a Saturday night but they whip around the cars too fast in that tiny parking lot. Next time i will park in a different lot and walk over.

    I’m such a fan, food is consistently great. Started with seafood salad, delicious!! My wife had the pollo Nonna, she absolutely loved it. She also got the garlic and oil spaghetti. as good as any around. My Bronzino was fantastic, all washed down with a beautiful glass of Baby Amarone makes the dinner complete. But, I still had to have the Panna Cotta and we are a happy couple. Special thanks to our waitress Anna, always a joy. If never been to Ragazzi give it shot, I think you will be pleased. I highly recommend.

    Service was excellent. Staff was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the meal. Even though the price was high the food was well worth the bill. From appetizers through to the dessert and the variety of atypical wines everything was paired to perfection. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience a truly upscale and diverse Italian cuisine.
