Excerpt from the menu reads: “This menu is based on natural local and seasonal products from farmers of the Staten Island region.  We consider that the gastronomy itself begins where the product reigns.  By placing an order with us, you also make contribution to development of modern Russian and American cuisine and farming of our community.

The restaurant itself is located right at the top of New Dorp lane, one block over towards Richmond town, on the Second Floor.  The original location of Villa Portofino years ago, followed by a few restaurants in-between including a Mediterranean eatery, another Italian restaurant and a pizzeria.
