Nonna's Citi Cucina, Englishtown

As kids, Rob Kash and Joe Mosco piled into the back seat to head to their nonna's—or their grandmother's—house for classic family-style Italian dinners every Sunday night. Drawing from some of her authentic recipes, they opened Nonnas Citi Cucina in memory to those dinners, from the ultra-fresh ingredients in every dish, to the importance of good food and great conversation. There, the kitchen turns out hearty plates of lobster macaroni and cheese, or family-style meals for four or more of rigatoni and chicken parmigiana. Served alongside a hefty wine list, the hospitable experience is made complete with reds and whites by the bottle or glass.
