Listen " Gargiulo's Restaurant, Coney Island Brooklyn"
Episode Synopsis
The menu at Gargiulo's reflects the family’s roots in Sorrento, blending classic Neapolitan recipes with Italian American adaptations. Holidays are celebrated with care, and dishes like zeppole, fig cookies, and pasta with sardines take center stage. When you think of Coney Island, images of roller coasters, the boardwalk, and summer fun come to mind. But for generations of Brooklyn families, the real heart of the neighborhood beats inside a legendary dining room: Gargiulo's Restaurant. Founded in 1907, this historic institution is the oldest business still operating in Coney Island. In my recent chat with Matthew Cutolo, pastry chef of Gargiulo's Restaurant, he shared how his family’s story intertwines with this iconic Brooklyn landmark.
