Sundays are very important in Italian-American culture. It’s a time when all the family comes together to celebrate over a meal. With recipes that have become synonymous with Italian-American with entertainers and movie stars in many an epic movie over the years, the recipes included in this book will make that Sunday even more memorable.

ROCCO CARBONE



ROCCO'S IS CARBONE ?



ROCCO'S IS CARBONE !
The former Greenwich Village Old-Schhol Red-Sauce Italian Joint, Rocco's a beloved little neighborhood trattoria closed two years ago as most people know. Squeezed out by a greedy lanlord and the so-called Torrisi Boys; Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick ... Some hard-core old-school Italians were really miffed and the final straw some said was when the ne-owners superimposed the name "Carbone" right over the Old Rocco Neon Sign .. They said the Torrisi Boys add "Insult to Injury" with that one, not to mention prices like $52 Veal Parmigiano and sky-high prices across the board on; cocktails, food, and wine ...
