his son who eventually took over ownership of the successful pizzeria in 1980 and remained its owner for the next 34 years until his retirement the Durazzo family once again turned over the reins of

Foods, Joe's Pizzeria won't die DEEP TIES: New Jersey's oldest pizzeria still sizzles making pizza and learning new things,” said Kevin Durazzo whose mother Bernadette said her son showed a clear desire to follow in his father’s footsteps from an early age “Kevin began working at the restaurant – helping in the kitchen bussing tables and learning the business – when he was 14 and had a real love for it from the first day,” Bernadette said he always knew he wanted to own the pizzeria someday.” family-friendly restaurant that will soon celebrate its 45th anniversary making it among the longest-running pizzerias in the area “Kevin is our main pizza man,” said Bernadette of the 16 to 18 different types of pizzas he creates each day (starting from $13.75 for a large pie) Among his signature creations are the "Grandma Pizza," which is “a thin square pie with either marinara or vodka sauce and our ‘Upside Down Pizza,’ a thick square pie with sauce and fresh mozzarella and parmesan cheese that are placed on the bottom because that’s how grandma used to make it,” Kevin said “We also sell a ton of chicken parmigiana sandwiches as well as our popular lunch specials which feature a half sandwich with French fries and a small soda for $8.25,” Durazzo said All of the Italian specialties on Attilio’s extensive menu incorporate a special sauce recipe handed down from

Marlboro resident who owns S&L Children’s Design a store specializing in formal wear for kids at the nearby Freehold Raceway Mall “I grew up in Brooklyn and there are plenty of pizzerias in the area as well as at the mall but in my opinion Attilio’s is the closest to New York-style pizza that I’ve experienced here and I regularly close up my shop for a little while each day so that I can go there for pizza,” Millman said noting that he also enjoys Attilio’s shrimp parmigiana and shrimp over linguine “Their restaurant is head and shoulders above the rest and the Durazzo family is incredibly

family that’s served generations of other families for so many years.” experimenting and trying new things is matched by a dedication to honoring those most special in his life "My dad is my hero and I'm so proud to be his son and to follow in his footsteps after learning from him and watching him over the years,” said Durazzo who relishes the several hours every Tuesday afternoon that his father Luigi still helps out at the restaurant “I wouldn't be half the man I am today without my parents’ continued love and support and I feel very fortunate to have them and this business that we’ve all worked so hard for."

He really knew his stuff." A lover of food and cooking his entire life Jerry's family say the former longshoreman made tasty food his way Dishes like veal pizzaiola are personal favorites but the store is famous for its eggplant pizza which sold out two days before closing "My father brought his own style of cooking and made what he eats himself," Elvira said The basic approach carried over to store policy The shop does not deliver and it never advertised the owner's face was one everybody recognized "When you go to an Applebees do you know the people who work there He actually put his heart and soul into it." But the business would never have thrived if it were not for the family's backbone The siblings agree their mother is "a saint" and credited the 76-year-old as a "very strong woman" who allowed Jerry to follow his dream The matriarch made a home where many may not have been capable of handling a lifestyle in which their husband is away all day Angelina also made sure her children respected their father The family aspect of the business transcended blood Though he was constantly working in the back of the house to keep up with demand Jerry found time each day to pull a table out from the store's rear kitchen area so that everyone - family and staff - could sit down to eat together "We worked 12 or 13-hour days so we all became family," Anthony said hundreds of devoted customers again flocked to the store the Scotto family announced "with a heavy heart" that Jerry would be retiring and that May 22 would mark the pizzeria's final day in business "He has made many memories and friends throughout the years," the post read "We thank you for all the love and support you have given us the social networking site had a small spike in activity thanks to the 300 shares and 150 comments from heartbroken residents of Clifton she said whenever her mother visits her on the west coast she brings with her a half-cooked Scotto's pizza with Jerry's help stated he took his Arizona-born son to Scotto's twice during vacations back to the east coast had one of their first dates at Scotto's in 1973 and remained loyal customers along with their children and grandchild "My dad used to take me here all the time and now he takes my son," said Irene Perez Dot Weiss-Urry first ate at Scotto's as a 16-year-old in 1970 and is now 62 Her first job was at the Pet Store located next-door to the pizzeria Generations of customers stormed the store like thirsty travelers happening upon a desert oasis The family expected people to come in for the last days but they never imagined the type of reaction the closing sparked Customers traveled from as far as Pennsylvania for one last Scotto's meal We're kind of sick of crying," she chuckled through gratitude "We love him as a father but we didn't realize just how many people loved our father Jerry said he was "completely surprised" by the response and family members said he was "floored" that so many people had been impacted by his shop By the morning after the Facebook announcement Elvira said the family received "breathtaking" phone calls "People were yelling at me 'how dare you guys close' and 'you guys are ripping my heart out' and 'how could this be?' It's crazy but that's all because of my father and because he always made it fun." It was 40 years ago that Scotto's served as the setting in which Carol Fortunato and Kathleen Mankowich made it their mission to return to the Clifton pizzeria upon hearing the news "This was our hangout when we were 14 years old," Fortunato said of Scotto's which was less than a mile's bike ride from their homes "I remember Jerry had a full head of black There's just something about him and that's why he's loved by so many people." Mankowich said their "usual" order consisted of a slice "We had to come back before they closed," she said who worked at the pizzeria for 13 years and is now a corporate chef at William Paterson University also returned to lend a helping hand during the shop's final days who retired in July after working at Scotto's for 45 years Nutley resident Shawn Bartholomew joked to a Scotto's employee on Sunday that he was going to frame his receipt "I've been coming here my whole life," the 26-year-old said to his friend "And my dad's been coming here even longer Nutley resident Scott McNulty and his daughter also made sure they ordered a final slice before the doors were shuttered for good "They're so far off the beaten path and they don't deliver so you have to come here," McNulty said "You have to hear about it from word-of-mouth but [Jerry] survived because of the congeniality of the staff and because the food is delicious visibly upset after reading the sign posted outside the store asked Scotto's workers where he would find his prized eggplant-topped pizza now "I don't know but we can't give out the recipe because if I tell you the secret I have to kill you," Elvira grinned boasted that he had been coming to the pizza parlor since he was 10 years old "I've been working here since I was 13," the senior sibling shot back from behind the counter Several dedicated customers who came in over the weekend were also overcome with emotion and left the restaurant in tears It's like losing a family member," said Assunta I'm very grateful for the wonderful things that happened because of [Scotto's]." Elvira said the final day was "bittersweet" because the store was like a second home to her her family and especially her local legend of a father "The memories are just overwhelming," she said Although the pizza maker appeared content with his decision Jerry said that the outpouring from his customers made him feel "loved and appreciated" for all the hard work he put into the business "I will miss all the people but what can I do who will travel to Italy in the coming weeks Una struttura in legno con una terrazza affacciata sul porto di Monte di Procida: Baya Restaurant è un piccolo gioiello dei Campi Flegrei Nasce da un’intuizione del 1982 di Emilio Lucci che iniziò a immaginare un locale lì dove c’era solo un terreno provinciale pieno di calcinacci e di detriti Grazie alla concessione del terreno e ad anni di pazienti lavori fatti tutti a mano finalmente nel 1996 il locale aprì come american bar Per molto tempo l’attività è stata gestita come club privato attirando l’attenzione dei napoletani di città più che dei montesi Nel 2019 Baya Club è diventato ufficialmente Baya Restaurant Nello stesso periodo sono stati realizzati gli ultimi lavori anche dal recupero di legni per imbarcazioni: i pavimenti il bancone esterno circondato da piastrelle coloratissime e il “banco sociale” La terrazza panoramica regala una vista splendida sulle isole di Ischia e Procida ed è bellissimo cenare ai tavoli esterni con lo sguardo rivolto verso il golfo mentre i sapori del mare accarezzano il palato il locale ha il suo fascino anche d’inverno Il mare è il grande protagonista; la cucina è creativa Su richiesta sono disponibili tante deliziose opzioni vegetali che include diverse etichette di Champagne Nel corso dell’evento per la stampa organizzato dalla giornalista Laura Gambacorta abbiamo potuto degustare: Aperitivo: Tartare di tonno con stracciatella di bufala e chips di riso soffiata e profumata al lime; Tartare di salmone con granella di arachidi e finto gelato all’avocado; Hot dog con salsiccia di cefalo e cipolla all’aglianico; Chela di baccalà al panko con ragù e sesamo nero e bianco La tradizionale caprese pomodoro+mozzarella prende i profumi del mare in Come una caprese: Cozze spadellate su estratto di datterino jus di basilico e mozzarella e crostini di pane casareccio Un altro nuovo piatto della chef Federica: Involtino croccante con seppie Vecchio cavallo di battaglia di Salvatore Lucci Girella di pesce bandiera panato al tarallo con trilogia di peperoni e colatura di provola In versione vegetale la girella diventa di zucchine Girella di zucchine con trilogia di peperoni e colatura di provola Il nuovo signature dish della casa è Zitoni “l’Oro di Gragnano” con genovese di tonno crudo e cotto e scaglie di provolone del monaco DOP Zitoni con genovese di tonno crudo e cotto e scaglie di provolone del monaco DOP (foto Ufficio Stampa) Finale dolce con la Torta Paradiso di mamma Lena Noi suggeriamo una visita al Baya Restaurant anche nei mesi meno caldi: la vista sul mare è uno spettacolo in ogni stagione Tag: email e sito web in questo browser per la prossima volta che commento Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Questo sito utilizza Akismet per ridurre lo spam.

environmental and social regeneration of the area between the municipalities of Bacoli Sessa Aurunca and Villa Literno is entering a new phase To celebrate the beginning of the participatory planning workshop experience the Campania Region has chosen the Castel Volturno Centre for Aggregation and Legality which has started its activities precisely in conjunction with this occasion inaugurating the spaces created by the Ministry of the Interior A symbolic place that will also host the headquarters of the Ente Riserve Volturno together with the mayor of Castel Volturno had to open the inaugural conference of the laboratories that will be composed of representatives of the world of Research Representatives of the constituting tables took part in the event: Michelangelo Russo Director of the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples The tables throughout the month of October supported by the offices of the Department of Urban Planning and the Government of the Territory and Unitary Planning of the Campania Region will meet at the operational headquarters of Castel Volturno needs and aspirations for development of local communities while improving knowledge and participation in decision-making processes on urban policies in progress The indications from the tables will contribute to the definition of the Integrated Enhancement Programme which is part of one of the macro-areas of the drafting of the Regional Landscape Plan A result that seals about two years of intense work and study during which the Campania Region has defined the guidelines and built a climate of trust between the institutions and the socio-entrepreneurial tissues of the municipalities concerned collecting projects for about half a billion euros This work was commented on by the President of the Campania Region who constantly followed the evolution of the Masterplan and wanted to be present at the presentation of the second phase The president spoke of the development vision of the Campania Region based on scrupulous checks and analysis as well as on a good dose of courage and constancy This strategy is based on three main strategic lines: the redevelopment and enhancement of the ecological and landscape-environmental system the enhancement of the historical-cultural and agricultural system and the development of sustainable and integrated mobility which will also transform the more than 70 km of coast into a great sustainable tourist attraction A political effort to create the conditions to support healthy entrepreneurship with stable employment An urban and social transformation plan that is based on shared and verifiable priorities A methodology that President De Luca intends to replicate for the Vesuvius area and the southern area of Salerno According to Regional Councillor for Urban Planning Bruno Discepolo product and process innovation is taking place in the Domitia-Fegrea area In a place where the contrast between degradation and development potential is more evident and jarring all the tools have been put in place to define strategies to promote territorial The Campania Region has entrusted the drafting of a preliminary draft to a professional grouping led by the ‘Land Italia’ study on which the tables are now called upon to give their contribution At the end of the action of the tables in collaboration with the Socio-Economic Partnership of the Campania Region the Integrated Programme for the Enhancement of the Domitio-Flegreo Coast will be defined and at that point the Masterplan will enter its third phase

GMT +2) The quake had a very shallow depth of 4 km (2.5 mi) and was felt widely in the area The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would A moderate magnitude 3.6 earthquake occurred in the Tyrrhenian Sea near Isola d'Ischia island 2024 at 8.28 am local time (Europe/Rome GMT +2) The quake had a very shallow depth of 2.5 km (1.5 mi) and was felt widely in the area Let's imagine having to evacuate nearly half a million people from the Phlegraean Fields in just 72 hours but that's exactly what it is the emergency plan prepared by civil protection for a possible volcanic eruption buses and ships will all be mobilized for bring residents towards the "twinned" regions in a coordinated effort that will involve all of Italy Even if today the risk of an eruption is remote The Campi Flegrei volcano is currently classified as yellow alert level This means that volcanic activity is down close observation would entail the evacuation of hospitals and the voluntary removal of the population foreseen in case of “phenomena that indicate a pre-eruptive dynamic” the complete evacuation of the area would be triggered underlines the importance of distinguishing between bradyseism and volcanic risk which causes the ground to rise accompanied by frequent earthquakes is a different phenomenon from volcanic eruption Today we are experiencing the bradyseismic crisis but the possibility of implementing resilience processes The national evacuation plan will be tested in October with a large exercise on volcanic risk organized by civil protection some neighborhoods of Naples and part of the municipalities of Marano and Giugliano The destination regions will have to prepare detailed plans that include first reception points health care and guarantee services such as administrative and educational continuity the citizens of Campi Flegrei they would have three days to leave the area The inhabitants of Pozzuoli they would be headed in Lombardia while the residents of Monte di Procida they would go in Abruzzo and Molise The largest number of displaced people is destined for Lombardy where approximately 77 thousand residents of Pozzuoli will find refuge The expected arrival stations are Milano Centrale thanks to its proximity to the Sacco and Galeazzi hospitals and connections with the high-speed railway line The estimated cost for the reception is approximately 65 euros per person with a total cost of over five million euros per day The other regions have also prepared detailed reception plans: Here is the summary of the destinations and the number of displaced people: we earn a commission from qualifying purchases through ticketing links This commission does not entail any

evening of October 2, 2023 attention on Campi Flegrei it is even higher want to know the government officials in the event of a catastrophe and find out who they are exactly the neighborhoods of Naples are at risk La red zone it is identified as the area most at risk due to its exposure to pyroclastic flows particularly dangerous phenomena due to their high temperatures and rapid movement These flows can pose a significant threat to people's safety La yellow zonealthough less dangerous than red zone presents a significant risk due to the possible fall of lapilli and volcanic ash The accumulation of these materials can compromise the stability of buildings The areas included in the yellow zone are: More information on the site risks.protezionecivile.gov.it new earthquakes Concerns and questions are growing about a possible volcano eruption To fully understand how serious the situation is it is very important to know this well volcanic zone Campi Flegrei represent a depression volcanic far-reaching extends from the hill of Posillipo to Monte di Procida a basin originated as a result of two massive collapses of the magma reservoirs occurred respectively 39.000 and 15.000 years ago witnessing the two most important eruptions of this volcano the only option is preventive evacuation to protect the inhabitants from the risk of pyroclastic flows extremely dangerous due to their temperatures and speeds This zone entirely includes the municipalities Pozzuoli in full; part of the Municipalities of Giugliano in Campania of Marano di Napoli and some municipalities of the Municipality of Naples it may be necessary to temporarily evacuate those living in structures vulnerable to ash accumulation This area incorporates several municipalities and neighborhoods of Napoli with a population of over 800 thousand people The volcanic activity of Campi Flegrei has historically been dominated by explosive eruptions Future projections indicate a possible continuation of these events the civil protection site has listed the possible manifestations: the area of Campi Flegrei showed signs of increasing seismic activity This phenomenon is mainly attributed to soil deformation and to the movement of fluids causing the deformation and generating microearthquakes of which over 600 have been registered lately According to recent research conducted by theUniversity College London and by 'National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) deformation growing of the rocks of the Campi Flegrei suggests an approaching breaking point This fragility could culminate in the creation of fractures although the rocks show signs of near failure It is essential that the magma is in the correct position to trigger this phenomenon Studies are currently aimed at evaluating the probability of an imminent eruption As pointed out by Stefano Carlino ofVesuvius Observatory (INGV) it is essential to be prepared at any eventuality 8 and 9 September 2018 there will be the fifth meeting of the Fiat Barchetta with the event entitled “'A città' e Pullecenella” This is the parade of these auto spiders produced by the 1994 to the 2005 and that have been much loved by many people
