About Chef Matthew Cutolo
I’m Matthew Cutolo, a third-generation chef at Gargiulo’s — one of the oldest Italian restaurants in New York, open since 1907.
I grew up in my grandfather’s kitchen, and learned from my cousin Mike the Bake in Gargiulo’s, learning the recipes and traditions that have been passed down for generations.
Today, I share those same dishes — simple, honest, and rooted in real Italian cooking.
