Two Twisted Italians, a new Italian restaurant serving the area, opened its doors on Saturday, Sept. 21 with a full menu designed to bring genuine flavors from the Old Country. Owner Tommy Caraccia’s vision for a family-friendly bistro was inspired by his own upbringing in New York.

“I’m from The Bronx, born in Little Italy. My family came over from Italy, and we have old Italian values,” Caraccia said. “Pasta on Sunday and Thursday. My mother used to make meatballs and fagioli and things like that. My goal here was to not just make an Italian restaurant, but to make a multi-faceted restaurant with takeout and market foods to take home, too.”
