Trattoria di Monica
Trattoria owners and life-long North Enders, Patrick and Frank Mendoza, learned everything they know in the kitchen from their mother, Monica. Twenty-five tables are packed into this red-brick hole-in-the-wall, so speak up when ordering from the menu of antipasti (bruschetta, arancini, calamari), homemade pastas (the cappellini comes highly recommended), and traditional entrees (chicken piccata, veal cacciatore).
