Gargiulo's Restaurant was established in 1907 by the Gargiulo Family. Throughout the 30's, 40's and 50's, Gargiulo's Grand Ballroom was the host of many weddings and other social functions. In April 1965, the Russo brothers (Michael, Victor and Nino) embraced Coney Island as their new home and acquired the restaurant from the Gargiulo family. BOTTOM LINE– IT IS STILL MY (AND MY FAMILIES) FAVORITE RESTUARANT IN CONEY ISLAND!
