Modern Pizza- Same Taste, New Location Coming Soon


There was never more of an oxymoron than the name Modern Pizza. This incredibly traditional Italian pizzeria located on Russell Avenue looks like it would be a haunt for members of the Rat Pack when visiting Frank Sinatra's old neighborhood. They began tossing dough way back in the 1920's and the yeast continues to rise. Staying close to tradition works for this brick oven pizza perfecter.

 Modern Pizza is in the process of moving from Russell Avenue to a spacious location on Huguenot street in the next few months. We are keeping our fingers crossed that they can move their classic white oven to the new location (pic below). The new space will allow Modern's devotees to enjoy a larger slice of the pie.

Spadaro - No Menu No Problem


Situated in a nondescript strip plaza on Main Street is a restaurant where Rome meets New Rochelle. Spadaro, a forty seat Italian dining room with photos of family,friends and favorite places adorning the wall, is simply belesimo. Rena and her sister had a restaurant in Rome before opening Spadaro in New Rochelle and it shows. The food is fit for Fellini!


What makes Spadaro exceptional is that they are confident enough to have a "NO MENU" policy and  pull it off. The servers recite the daily specials with such accuracy you wonder if they underwent a bootcamp training course in the Spadaro culinary army.  I adoro the antipasto. The branzino is bravo and you must mangia the marinara.  
Since they operate sans menu, you will not find out the pricing until the end of the meal. And I must tell you, you won't go broke when you eat baroque.

Posto 22 - Italy comes to Division Street



Strategically placed in the center of Division street is Posto 22. On this unseasonably warm April evening the doors were open to create the illusion of a sidewalk eatery while exposing  smells from within. Hungry commuters jockeyed for position at the bar to watch the Knicks game and feast on complimentary rolls. The room is sparsely decorated and has an airy quality. There is an outdoor patio in the rear of the restaurant as well as a dinging room that could be used for private events. 
The scene is family friendly and  portions are ample.Tuesdays are 1/2 off bottles and glasses of wine and the selection consists of Italian favorites.If you go, try the margherita pizza and the cheese ravioli. carbs are not your enemy at Posto.

Must: Tuesday 1/2 off bottles
Bust: The room gets crowded and loud.
