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

I’ve been there several times. Great space. Nice fun, casual menu. They had an excellent acoustic guitar player. Because of the design of the building, it was very loud, but enjoyable. Service was very good and the food was also terrific.

Much better than the 2 or 3 most recent experiences post pandemic, seems like they have fixed some of the issues that had developed during the pandemic. It was very slow and the place was mostly empty the night after thanksgiving. Let’s see if they can repeat this most recent experience.
