Basilio Inn
Staten Island's oldest restaurant (1921), hidden in a converted 1850s carriage house near South Beach — homemade pasta, produce from their own garden, and one surviving bocce court out back.
Order: Spiedini alla romana to start, then whatever pasta features the garden's produce; ask about the squash blossoms in summer.
verified open Aug 2026 (basilioinn.com + OpenTable active, Yelp updated May 2026); tucked on a dead-end street — easy to drive past

Enoteca Maria
The famous nonnas restaurant: real grandmothers — Italian nightly, plus a rotating nonna from a different country — cooking in a tiny St. George room blocks from the ferry. Menu changes with whoever's at the stove.
Order: Whatever the guest nonna is making that night — check the board and trust her; the handmade pastas from the Italian kitchen are the constant.
verified open Aug 2026 (Yelp updated Aug 2026, OpenTable active, Michelin Guide listed); Thu-Sun only, from 3:30pm — reserve, the room is tiny
