  1. benson,
    the doc I worked for in Bensonhurst used
    to go there weekly.
    I’d tag along once in a while
    the Fra Diavalo sauce was super,
    just the right amount of heat.
    We always had the same waiter,
    a really nice guy Sal.
    I went shark fishing with him
    and the doc once and caught a
    blue shark 30 miles out from the
    Rockaway Inlet.

  2. Legion;

    Fiorentino’s used to be THE PLACE to go to, and I knew the family (they lived one block from me).

    The last time I went, however, I didn’t like it at all. It was the time of my father-in-law’s funeral, and he was laid up at the funeral home right next door (Sabatino’s), so I ate there several times, and each time I was disappointed (my guests felt the same way). The brother who was the cook passed away a few years ago, and the place has gone downhill since then. Moreover, the other brother who runs the place is an arraogant SOB – thinks he’s got gold there.

  3. Legion, I’m glad to be back as the in-law’s screaming / crying kids were getting to me near the end of the stay – it really made me even more appreciative of my super easy going boy

  4. Rob, these temp workers have hard times finding jobs in NYC from what I’ve heard. That’s why they head to hamptons, cape cod, jersey shore, etc. to work at delis, restaurants, cafes, etc. since there is a large demand for temp. summer workers at those places.
