giovanni-terzulli-florios-cigar-bar-grilleMy favorite place to go in the whole world is still New’s York’s Little Italy and my favorite restaurant when I get there is Florio’s Cigar Bar & Grille. Florio’s is located just off the corner of Grand and Mulberry Street, just across from Ferrara’s.

The owner, Lawrence Amoruso (or son of the owner) is an awesome host along with the other manager’s Frank and Tony. When you arrive at Florio’s you are instantly welcomed in and you realize this is home. I have been going to Florio’s for years and have never had a bad meal…ever! The food always tastes fresh and yummy.

Besides the food being awesome and the cigars to die for, Florio’s has a treasure very rarely seen. That treasure comes in the form of a human being named Giovanni Terzulli: The most famous waiter in Little Italy.

I had the balls to ask Giovanni to sit down and do a brief interview with me while the restaurant was hopping. He obliged. Take a gander for yourself.
