Take it from an Italian. If you want a taste of what it's like on the other side, tuck a napkin into your shirt collar and mangia! In in the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s, Coney Island's heyday, Gargiulo's was THE place for ballroom dances, weddings and family dinners. There was a huge octopus on the ceiling, indicative of the wonderful seafood- clams, mussels and crab- served. Even today, this is a great venue for special occasions- there are two party rooms for weddings or other large gatherings. Italians come from all over Brooklyn to enjoy Gargiulo's mozzarella in carozza, baked clams, swordfish, pennette pasta and for dessert, tartufo, spumoni or coconut sorbet served in a coconut shell!
