Review & FAQ:

Gaetano's restaurant has a long history, from the wild, wild, west era to bootlegging moonshine during the Prohibition to a local eatery for charismatic mobsters who drew in the crowds.

The Smaldones and their three sons owned this iconic restaurant for more than three decades, doing whatever it took to keep it thriving.

In recent years, it was sold to the Breckenridge and Wynkoop family, who breathed new life into it while also preserving its rich history. Guests can dine in what feels like another time, thanks to the black-and-white photos adorning the walls and authentic hand-made Italian dishes like cappelacci de pera. Map
