A Casual and Great Tasting Pizza and Italian Restaurant. The legacy of Taste of Italy began over 30 years ago when Gino Schiano-Moriello started learning culinary skills from his family in Napoli, Italy. Much of his expertise had come from his father Giorgio who had spent many years in Brooklyn restaurants as well as working as a chef for an Italian cruise line. At the age of sixteen Gino moved to America to bring his families recipes stateside.
