Welcome to BIG ITALY

 

In 1992, in the small town ofCapena,Italy, in the outskirts ofRome, the Montesanti family opened a small restaurant. They served a variety of pizza and pasta dishes based on local recipes, each made with high quality, hand-picked fresh produce. Featuring fresh ingredients and homemade sauces, they prepared each dish with care and “espresso” (cooked on the spot).

The family-owned business became a local success and a “must” place for families to dine in and hang out. Twenty years later, Michelangelo Montesanti was joined by his friends, Marco Marzocca and Paulo Simoes, to bring the “secret family recipes” to theUnited States.

Our restaurant features over 100 types of pizza and over 50 delicious pasta dishes. Pizzas are baked in a wood fire oven to give them the distinct taste and aroma found only in an authentic Italian eatery. They’re served in a thin crust, as the Roman tradition demands. Succulent pasta dishes are served in generous portions and will satisfy the most discerning palates.

BIG ITALY is more than pizza and pasta; we also offer a variety of antipasti, bruschetta, salads, gelatos, a full bar and an Itialian wine list hand selected by our sommelier Pierluigi Gaeta.

The fun, friendly atmosphere and delicious dishes make for an authentic and unforgettable Italian dining experience — one you’ll want to experience time and time again!

Buon appetito!

Marco,Paulo and Michelangelo
