Family-owned since 1987 — recipes straight from Sicily, sauces made from scratch every morning, and a brick oven that never really cools down.

In 1987, Rosa and Antonio Rossi opened a small dining room on Wyoming Avenue in Kingston with little more than Rosa’s handwritten recipe notebook, carried over from Sicily, and a belief that this valley would take care of anyone who fed it well. The notebook’s first page still says what it said then: cook like family is coming.
Three generations later, the Rossis are still at the stove. Every sauce simmers from scratch each morning, the pizza dough proofs overnight, and the meatballs are rolled by hand — never frozen, never rushed. Rosa’s grandchildren now run the dining room, but the recipes haven’t changed a word.
Whether it’s Sunday dinner with the whole family or a quick plate of pasta on a Tuesday, there’s always a seat for you at our table.

Checking today’s hours…
Nearly four decades of Sunday dinners, first dates, and family celebrations.
The chicken parm tastes like my grandmother’s. We drive 30 minutes just for Sunday dinner here.
Best pizza in the Valley, hands down. The brick oven makes all the difference.
Rosa herself came out to check on our table. You don’t get that at chain restaurants.
