New York City restaurateurs Pietro and Kelly Molendini took over the classic St. James farmhouse turned restaurant. The former co-owners of Vite Vinosteria in Astoria, Queens, who had moved from the city to Centerport, spent the summer renovating the dining room to a modern, clean look with neutral tones and contemporary artwork from Pietro Molendini's native Rome. They also expanded the bar from about four to 11 seats.Pietro Molendini has spent 30 years in the food industry, with a decade of that at Cipriani and stints at both Bar Pitti and Da Silvano. Along the way, he met chef Fabian Garcia Manca, who eventually headed the kitchen at Vito Vinosteria and now joins the Molendini’s in St. James. Kelly Molendini said Manca and her husband scour the tristate area and beyond for ingredients. "They are never home," she joked, and said that the pair source some of their meat from the Bronx, burrata from New Jersey and dried pasta from Italy and Sicily.Closed 11/17/2022 for private party

    Amazing Gluten Free menu! It's so hard to find an actual menu for GF besides pasta with sauce or hamburger no bun! We had an amazing dinner and took dessert home because we were so full. The owner was present and going around to some tables to see how they were enjoying the evening. I let him know how amazing our Di net was a S appreciate the GF MENU!

    We were celebrating a special occasion and had a wonderful time. The hostess brought us 2 champagne flutes which we felt was very thoughtful. Our server, Reina was an absolute joy. In fact everyone who serviced our table was friendly. The food was delicious as always, from appetizer to dessert. We tried new menu items this time and they did not disappoint.
