About Consiglio's

At the turn of the century, Salvatore and Annunziata Consiglio arrived as immigrants, and settled among the Amalfi community centered around Wooster Square. By 1938, with the help of their seven children, they opened a neighborhood family restaurant directly across from the building we are currently in called, “The Big Apple.” Not so much a “restaurant” as an extension of their own kitchen and dining room, only the freshest ingredients could be used, generous portions served and reasonable prices charged to friends.

In the early 1960’s, major city redevelopment of the area required a move, and the business relocated to this site as “Consiglio’s Restaurant”

Today the second, third, and now fourth generations of Consiglio’s continue the family's tradition—offering our customers the finest Italian food at reasonable prices, and the friendly, gracious service they’ve come to expect here at Consiglio’s. We still serve the best of Annunziata’s Southern Italian recipes, like our hand-rolled Cavatelli, Braciola, Lasagna and Eggplant Rollatini, as well as our new favorites of the 21 century—like Chicken Amalfi, Veal Champagne and Filet Mignon Gorgonzola.
