Our Story

The Pagano Family owned and operated a much loved family restaurant on Ocean Avenue in Bradley Beach for 20 years. Anthony Pagano grew up in the restaurant business working alongside his father and mother at their very successful restaurant. In February of 2009, when the opportunity presented itself, Raffaella Pagano and her son Anthony knew they wanted to return to Bradley Beach to usher in a new era of fine dining.

With his own flair for Italian food, Anthony has brought a new dimension in dining and entertainment to Bradley Beach. Offering a tantalizing mix of traditional and contemporary dishes, Anthony continuously strives to invent and create beyond the conventional. From his pasta and specialty pizzas to delicious seafood, chicken, beef and veal dishes, there is something certain to please all of our guests. Once again, a fine Italian restaurant run by a family that has set its roots in a town they love.
