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

    We ordered four different entrees all all four were superb. The salads were delicious with simple olive oil & vinegar dressings. The bread basket was very good & our drinks as well. A very nice evening to dine out at a very fine restaurant.

    There were 4 of us and we all said the music was very loud, too loud for friends who wanted to catch up. We asked the waiter if he could possibly lower it and within seconds it was done. If that doesn’t say a lot about customer service I don’t know what does! All of our food was very tasty and plentiful; service was very friendly and attentive; and we all took half of our meal home. We were all too full for dessert. This is a great restaurant with great food and great service!!
