VESPA Italian Kitchen & Cocktails opens in Ronkonkoma

VESPA Italian Kitchen & Cocktails has opened a new location in Ronkonkoma.

The new 5,940-square-foot restaurant is located in the new Station Yards mixed-use development at 3 Hawkins Ave.

Owned by Benedetto LoMantio, this is his second VESPA restaurant on Long Island, following the other at 282 Main St. in Farmingdale. 

VESPA features modern Italian cuisine rooted in authentic Sicilian recipes from LoMantio’s hometown of Castellammare del Golfo. The menu includes  pastas, brick-oven pizzettes, handcrafted cocktails, and private-label wine.
