RESTAURANT REVIEW

Quarter century-old Italian staple moves to bright new quarters Same great food and welcoming atmosphere

By Jananne Abel

T&J,

what can I say? After 26 years, it’s a staple in the Port Chester/Rye Brook community. And now that the Italian restaurant known for its delicious Neapolitan family recipes, traditional and gourmet pizza, homemade pasta and warm hospitality has moved a block away to spanking new quarters in a newly constructed building with twice the space, it is attracting a commensurate size crowd. Many are now coming out to eat rather than settling for takeout from the old place because they didn’t want to wait for a table.

The bright new dining room at T&J Restaurant and Pizzeria’s 10 Pearl St. location is more than twice the size of the one at the eatery’s original site.

Service continues to be friendly and efficient but not formal, food is first class but not elegant, portions are huge and prices are reasonable.

My husband has called T&J Restaurant and Pizzeria, which was named T&J Pizza & Pasta at its 227 Westchester Ave. location, the new Sawpit. Old timers will remember The Sawpit as one of the better Italian restaurants in Port Chester that became a local hangout for politicians and other residents. The Sawpit was located on South Regent Street in the space that is now empty but last housed Arrosto. My inlaws went there every Saturday night for many years and I recall eating many a Saturday lunch there. It is where I as a thenoutsider from Connecticut was introduced to gorgonzola cheese salad.

“I hope we can duplicate their success,” said John Ruggiero, one of the owners of T&J, in an onsite interview.

On our first Friday night visit to the new T&J at 10 Pearl St., the former location of the Rye Town Office Building which once housed the Port Chester village offices as well, we saw so many people we knew from Port Chester, Rye Brook and

by hand as well as four different types of lasagna.

While T&J continues to serve only beer and wine—state law does not allow a full liquor license because of the restaurant’s proximity to a church—there is now a small bar with seats for four where you can hang out with a glass of wine or house made sangria (both red and white) or wait for a table. Here there is also beer on tap—something new—and more wines are now available by the glass.

In its new location, T&J is offering seven flavors of gelato and a coffee drink called crema del café which is like soft espresso ice cream or an espresso slush depending on the consistency.

“My mom went to Italy a couple years ago,” said Ruggiero. “She said that was the new trend, you’ve got to get it.” So they did.

Same menu Besides these enhancements, the menu remains the same and there are absolutely no plans to change it. The kitchen is under the direction of 15-year head chef Raul Ponce while takeout chef Pablo Urbina of Port Chester has been with T&J since day one 26 years ago when Jerry and Grace Vitiello of Hawthorne founded the restaurant with another of John Ruggiero’s uncles, Tony, who formed the T in T&J. When Tony’s health failed, they were joined by Filomena and Ray Ruggiero of the Bronx. All are still involved except Ray who died two years ago.

T&J’s biggest sellers, according to John Ruggiero, are Chicken Scarpariello, Penne alla Vodka and Shrimp Buon Gustaio, the latter a special made with shrimp, mussels and clams in garlic and oil over capellini with seasoned bread crumbs.

“It’s a special, but we can make it anytime,” said Ruggiero, who stressed that “as long as we have the ingredients, we will make it. If it is a dish you have Please turn to page 5

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Quarter century-old Italian staple moves to bright new quarters had before and want it, we will make it.”

I’ve had both the chicken and penne dishes and can attest to their exceptional flavor and consistency. Once over the past 26 years I recall the Penne alla Vodka being too salty or somehow not just right, but in general I agree with Ruggiero that “we make a really good vodka sauce.”

The shrimp also sounds exceptional and I plan to order it real soon.

Other Italian staples I can’t get enough of and have probably ordered hundreds of times for takeout are the tortellini soup ($5 or $7), the large size being enough for two meals, the garden salad with gorgonzola cheese ($7), which comes with red peppers roasted in-house, olives, tomatoes and just the perfect amount of their wonderful house dressing, penne with broccoli in garlic and oil ($12) and linguine with red or white claim sauce ($14).

Friday night dinner for two On my Friday night visit three weeks in at the new location, I called first and was told it was first come, first served for parties of two. My husband and I chatted with people we knew and then sat at the bar sipping sangria and beer while waiting for a table.

A basket of Italian bread from Neri’s Bakery, of course, and a few small pieces of delicious focaccia topped with tomatoes and garlic came right away and went perfectly with everything we ordered.

I enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms ($10) which brought four good-sized caps stuffed with chopped meat and bread crumbs with a mound of broccoli rabe in the middle, all covered in a tasty pink sauce. Although cooked greens aren’t my favorite, I did give the broccoli rabe a try, and it wasn’t bad.

My husband was delighted to see anchovies with roasted red peppers ($10) on the special menu which also came with black and green olives. Anchovies are not something I care

seafood salad ($16) for his main course which brought a mélange of shrimp, scungilli, calamari , tomatoes, onions, celery, olives and lettuce which I found freshtasting but he felt was bland.

A glass of Malbec ($9) and a beer ($6) complemented our meal.

For dessert, we wanted to take advantage of what was homemade—so the amaretto cake it was—a good-sized piece of cake with nuts, amaretto sauce on the plate and a dollop of whipped cream made for a heavenly end to the meal. An espresso with a bottle of anisette brought to the table and a cappuccino went delightfully with this sweet treat.

With the dessert and coffee on the house, our check came to $76.50.

Besides the pasta, Grace and Filomena also make three of the desserts—the amaretto cake, ricotta cheesecake (amazingly light and sprinkled with powdered sugar) and tiramisu.

Rosie, our server, is among the longtime staff at T&J. Down to earth and delightful, she said she had worked there on and off for 14 years starting when she was 21.

Staff makes you feel at home Besides Rosie, the gregarious Flavia has waited tables at T&J for 25 years, Raymond a mere 15.

“There is very little turnover,” said John Ruggiero, noting that longtime chef Pablo keeps the cuisine consistent.

With the larger dining room, bar and pizzeria, John and Ray have hired seven new people in addition to the old timers.

Besides the staff, Grace, 73, and Filomena, 70, circulate among the guests greeting every one over the course of their meal and making them feel welcome as they have done for years.

“Grace and my mom are our foundation,” said Ruggiero.

“They laid our foundation. We rely on them so much. We can never pay them back.” With more tables and increased business, these sweet ladies are working harder than ever.

In addition, John’s wife Ve-

I was encouraged to order the ravioli Filomena had made that day stuffed with asparagus, sweet sausage and broccoli rabe ($20). I substituted pink sauce for the Alfredo sauce listed on the special menu at the suggestion of our server when I worried about Alfredo being too heavy.

While I usually go for cheese ravioli, my attitude was why not opt for something fresh and different when you have the chance.

Bright, classy decor Except for the dough maker, which they dragged over from their old location, everything at 10 Pearl St. is new. Michael Rino from an architectural firm in Mamaroneck designed the whole building. The kitchen and dining room were a collaborative effort among John Ruggiero, Ray Sasson and Dom Neri. “Our wives also had a big hand,” said Ruggiero.

Family members Filomena Ruggiero, her son John Ruggiero, Grace Vitiello and her son-in-law Ray Sassano are all integral parts of the team that makes T&J Restaurant and Pizzeria tick.

“When you have been in business as long as us, since 1990, it is great to build a restaurant from scratch,” he said. “Not a lot of people have that opportunity, so we are really blessed with that.” Ruggiero, who lives in Mt. Vernon, also has two uncles in the restaurant business even longer, one since 1954 and the other since 1985.

The attractive front decorated with hay and pumpkins and the brightness of both the pizzeria and the dining room because of all the windows are striking.

The variety of pizzas available by the slice is nicely displayed on glass shelves and comes out of one large pizza oven surrounded by fake brick.

Moving from the pizzeria into the dining room, wooden signs on the wall read “grateful” and “thankful,” there is a beautiful wooden carved floral sculpture on one wall, then the small bar with four stools that match the chairs in the dining room.

The dining room is open and spacious with tables not on top of each other. What remains from the old dining room are the adorable photos of Grace and Filomena’s nine grandchildren as toddlers eating pizza, pasta, sitting in a pot or donning a chef ’s hat that hang on nearly every wall.

A metal sculpture, an oil painting that looks 3D, and two globed candles also adorn the walls, all painted a light beige.

The tile floor looks textured in various shades of brown and beige.

A Thanksgiving comeback

By Brian Moloney

I

t’s nice to see Thanksgiving making a bit of a comeback.

Once, right up there as a primo year-end holiday, it had begun to lose some of its status and luster as a holiday to anticipate and enjoy.

Which the turkeys were okay with.

Situated so close to Christmas, which has everything going for it as holidays go, including its own movies and musical score, people couldn’t wait to begin decking the halls.

If only Thanksgiving would do its thing and step to the side...please.

It’s no wonder those plastic Turkey Trees and Gobble Gobble Garland strings I tried selling on EBay didn’t fly...so to speak.

Nope, shoppers were already snapping up all those shelf elfs and other assorted Kringle creatures.

Which, again, was fine with the turkeys.

You could also spot Thanksgiving’s diminished status in other ways.

Folks fortunate enough to have in-laws and outlaws counted among their extended families and obligations (wait, did I write that out loud???) found themselves having to choose...which festive feast they preferred to celebrate with their immediate families and which with the in-laws.

Not an easy decision since they both have upsides and...let’s face it...down sides.

At the in-laws, there’s that uncle who always arrives after the soup’s been served and insists on reading all 108,260 words of “The Pilgrim’s Progress” before the turkey is carved.

Some find that an upside...others, not so much.

At your immediate family’s dinner, the tradition of “find the drumstick” is both beloved and controversial, especially since you’ve been looking for the same drumstick since the early 70’s.

“Oh, I’m sure it will turn up one of these years...keep looking!” is the traditional refrain voiced each holiday by Great Aunt Louise, who by coincidence also whips up a spectacular turnip dish, to boot.

Again, an upside for some...others, not so much.

So when faced with a choice, a lot of people choose the in-laws for Thanksgiving, saving, at least in their minds, the more festive, traditional Christmas dinner with all its assorted caroling and tree trimmings for themselves.

Come on...don’t roll your eyes...you know you think that way.

Everyone can’t wait for Christmas. Christmas commercials start the second you give out your last piece of Halloween candy.

When’s the last time you saw a commercial for a Butterball turkey...let alone Turkey Trees and Gobble Gobble Garland strings?

When’s the last time you gathered your neighbors together to go Thanksgiving caroling?

Who among us last threw a PreThanksgiving Holiday party?

Even Halloween has those.

Where are all the Thanksgiving decorations?

The fancy big hats, bustles and buckled shoes?

Hiding under the wreaths and trees already lining the aisles?

No...Thanksgiving has long been relegated to the stuffed bellies and leftover pile.

Even the uniqueness of Thanksgiving Thursday football has been marginalized and spread throughout the season.

Still, as I said, there seems to be a bit of a Thanksgiving comeback movement afoot.

More and more folks are complaining about the earlier and earlier displays of Christmas cheer.

The shoddy dismissal of all things turkey.

More and more, TV shows roll out annual Thanksgiving episodes in lieu of Christmas... mostly because they go off the air for December, I guess to go shopping...but hey...we’ll take it.

Even Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving is gaining in popularity.

Most of all, a lot of us are rediscovering the act of giving thanks for all we’ve had and all we still have, in the face of all we’ve lost throughout the year.

And even though many of us suffer our losses quietly, in our own way, in our own time, there’s solace in giving thanks together.

That alone is enough to honor Thanksgiving as the special holiday it still deserves to be.

So enjoy your turkeys and your families, both immediate and extended, this Thanksgiving.

Give thanks you’re all together and enjoy your holiday traditions...even “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” which you might actually find interesting.

And, if not, there’s still the drumstick hunt.

Christmas can wait a few more days...there’s leftovers to be had!

And in that spirit I’ll refrain from mentioning anything about my new book, “The Little Red Christmas Ball,” available now at all online booksellers. A story for kids and anyone whoever was and would be again, it just could be your favorite new holiday tradition. But, as I said, I’m not going to do that...because that would be wrong. At least while you still looking for that drumstick...

Happy Thanksgiving!
