Patrizia’s Italian restaurant is all about more: more food, more celebration, more noise. And now, more Long Island locations. The Hicksville restaurant, which opened in August 2016 and received two stars from Newsday, will be joined by one in Massapequa Park, expected to open in the next few months.

Massapequa Park will be the eighth location of the metropolitan area mini-chain whose owners, Naples-born brothers Gennaro and Giacomo Alaio, began their careers as waiters at Viva Loco in Bellmore before opening the first Patrizia’s Italian restaurant in the Bronx in 1991.
