The Celtic Harp, Michael T's Restaurant, Orchard Hall and now Tom Cavallo's Restaurant. These are all restaurants that have been family traditions and Central New York Staples for years and they are all now "For Sale."

I can remember as a child spending countless weekends having big meals with family, spending Tuesday wing nights with friends in high school and even recently enjoying a great meal and good times out on the back deck. Now, like many other local business owners, it's time to move on. Traditions and experiences at Cavallo's will be cherished memories for years to come for many families locally and those living in other states.

O'Scugnizzo's Pizzeria is 110 Years Old in Utica, NY

Founded in 1914 by Eugenio Brullino, a determined immigrant from Naples, Italy, O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria has become synonymous with quality, consistency, and the unique flavors of
Utica.
Eugenio Brullino arrived in America in 1913 on the Canopic to Boston, Massachusetts, from Naples at the age of 25. Settling in Utica with his wife Maria, he began his American journey as a pastry chef. To supplement their household income, Maria would prepare little tomato pies, which Eugenio sold at church feasts each weekend. The name "O'Scugnizzo" comes from Naples, which was a slang term used for street urchin’s looking for a day’s work.
When he decided to open his pizzeria in 1914, it was this term that became the trade name, a legacy that would endure for generations.
