• Italian • St. James

Booked 4 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

The waiter was great. The pizzas are amazing. We ordered veal and it was a bit tough. The dish came with mashed potatoes and they were cold.

The ambiance at Mama Lombardis is lovely and conducive to eating in a fine restaurant. It's immaculate which is a big plus. Our server was very attentive, and a charming disposition. They go out of their way to make your dining experience pleasurable enough to return. You are served like you are the only guest.

Amazing high end Mexican food that goes with the region. I eat a lot of Mexican food, and this was some of the best I have had in a while. It is upper scale Mexican food, not street Mexican. Definitely recommend. Also the drinks are great and reasonably priced!
