In the Moscatiello family, business is a family effort where everyone works hard. You need only to look around to see the evidence. My mother, being the best seamstress in the world, made the red checked table cloths, curtains and the aprons for the restaurant when we first opened. My grandfather Luigi Battuello reupholstered the barstools. My father greeted customers at the door. I ran the kitchen while my wife waited on tables. My son Michael was 2 years old when I opened. He grew up in the restaurant and now he has taken an active role in managing, bartending and cooking. Three generations of a family’s hard work and determination. Today, you can also find my daughter, nieces and nephews in the restaurant cooking, cleaning or taking your order.
My family’s strong will is one of the reasons we are here today; the other may be attributed to a miracle. Many of you may not know, but my father survived an unfathomable accident. In 1956, my father and his family were travelling from Naples to New York City on the S.S. Andrea Doria. The ship sank 45 miles off Nantucket and the family lost all of their worldly possessions. His experience has given me the will to dream and the strength to follow through on them.
