Some restaurants, including Italian American red sauce joints, are so embedded in this country’s dining culture that the food comforts nearly all who eat it. That nostalgia runs through the menu at DeNuccis, a new Italian restaurant and pizzeria from the team behind Gemini and Old Pueblo Cantina.

The team from Ballyhoo Hospitality took over the former Four Farthings Tavern & Grill which is right across the street from their first restaurant, Gemini, which opened in 2009. The team has accrued a legion of loyal customers over the last 14 years which is why they pursued this second venture at 503 W. Dickens Avenue.
