An Expression Of FlavorAt Its Most Refined
Neapolitan cooking, gourmet pizza and a dining room where two families have fed Port Chester since 1990.
✦ About Us
Built On Family Recipes, Refined Into Something Lasting
T&J is the work of the Ruggiero and Sassano families — neighbors turned partners who carried their grandmothers' cooking from Naples to Westchester.
Mothers Mena Ruggiero and Grace Vitiello still shape the kitchen, preparing the dishes and desserts handed down to them, generation by generation.

✦ Our Kitchen
Simple Ideas, Cooked The Long Way
Sauces simmered slow, dough made fresh each morning, portions generous enough to take home. Nothing hurried, nothing shortcut.
✦ Ingredients At The Core
Refined With Care, Restraint & Generosity
Every plate begins with what the market gives us that morning — plum tomatoes, good olive oil, seafood chosen the day it is cooked.
The technique never changes: family recipes, patient hands, and a kitchen that would rather cook one dish properly than twenty quickly.
Baked Clams Oreganata
Little necks, seasoned breadcrumbs, lemon and good olive oil.
Rigatoni alla Vodka
Slow tomato cream, fresh basil and grated Parmigiano.
Chicken Scarpariello
Sweet sausage, cherry peppers, garlic and rosemary pan sauce.
Gourmet Brick Oven Pizza
Dough made fresh each morning, finished with fior di latte.
