Nuovo Vesuvio redefines the "family" restaurant, showcasing the finest in Neapolitan cuisine and Essex County's best-kept secret. Master chef Artie Bucco invites you to a special feast, featuring one hundred Avellinese-style recipes and valuable preparation tips, alongside his friends from the Sopranos. From arancini to zabaglione and baccala to Quail Sinatra-style, the culinary journey is rich and diverse. Artie also shares a treasure trove of Sopranos artifacts, including vintage photos, the original 1926 menu, AJ's school essay on food, and Bobby Bacala's style tips for big eaters. Join Tony Soprano, who critiques the average grill master while offering his tender Grilled Sausages with fennel or cheese. Corrado "Junior" Soprano emphasizes the joy of cooking with his Pasta Fazool and Giambott', a vibrant vegetable medley. Carmela Soprano believes in the healing power of food, sharing her Baked Ziti and earthy 'Shcarole with Garlic. Peter Paul "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri humorously notes the abundance of food terms, inviting you to indulge in his Eggs in Purgatory—an experience that promises to be heavenly. As Artie says, "Enjoy, with a thousand meals and a thousand laughs. Buon' appetito!"
