Vittorio's Helps Celebrate Summer With Steak Bbq Kit To Go

Vittorio's Restaurant and Wine Bar (184 Broadway, Amityville Village, NY (631) 264-3333 or www.vittorios.biz), known for its Steak House Wednesday menu, helps keep steak on the table at home all summer with a Steak BBQ Kit to go. The idea, conceived for Father's Day, has been so successful that Vittorio's has decided to keep it on offer.

Chef John Ringle packages five cuts of USDA prime beef, dry-aged in-house, with all the trimmings, instructions for cooking and heating along with an apron and chef hat. The Steak BBQ Kit serves 4-5 people and costs $200 plus tax. Wines from Vittorio's award-wining wine list are also available. The take-away menu is as follows:

1 - 32 oz. Porterhouse Steak
2 - 8 oz. Filet Mignon
1 - 16 oz. N.Y. Sirloin
1 - 16 oz. Ribeye
2 orders of home fries
2 orders of creamed spinach
2 salads (house/Caesar)
1 pint of Vittorio's homemade steak sauce
Apron and chef hat

Vittorio's Restaurant and Wine Bar offers dining with a unique blend of American specialties and classic Italian dishes. Owner Michael Vittorio Esposito grew up working in his father's pizzeria, located across the street from Vittorio's in Amityville Village, with dreams of one day starting his own restaurant. On Valentine's Day of 2002, Esposito fulfilled his lifelong dream. In the process of opening Vittorio's, named in honor of his father, he also pioneered the facelift of the Broadway area. He returned a landmark 1880s building, once a pharmacy at the center of the community, to its former prominence. Today, Vittorio's is an established member of Long Island's fine dining community. In 2008, Long Island Press readers voted Vittorio's #1 wine bar. In 2007, Wine Spectator awarded the Vittorio's its second Award of Excellence. The Zagat Survey includes Vittorio's in its 2008 America's Top 1,000 Italian Restaurants Guide calling it a "pleasing" "local spot" where "everyone will be happy" and with a "comforting" menu.
