I'm out of the loop, lol. Pontevecchio may be hotter now. But I always liked the food at Areo better than pontevecchio.


Out here in the 'Burbs the closest thing we have to a NY wiseguy restaurant is Buona Sera in Red Bank. And Thursday is still the happening night, even here. The food is good though. The crowd is funny - NY transplants, mixed with locals, people come from Staten Island too. You get a lot of older ladies that are shall we say - mutton dressed as lamb. There's a bar/club part of the restaurant that gets very busy




And no worries Pizzaboy, I know what you mean
