“I’ve chosen the old country as a grand prize because I want to share my love of our family’s ancestral home of Italy with the people of Long Island” said Corteo, co-owner and namesake of Carlino’s.

“My fondest thoughts invoke memories of mom in the kitchen preparing the family dinner with love and devotion. Thoughts of home, gathered round the dinner table with family and friends, the air infused with the aroma of classic Italian cooking, and visions of old world southern Italy.
