His Honor is afraid that if I ordered it, I would be the first to consume it at one sitting. The menu at Di Beppo is old-time southern Italian immigrant dishes so popular in America in the 1940s and 1950s. Everything is designed for sharing. Across the street from the Freight House Shops and next to the Grand Concourse, the restaurant is on three floors, and has several separate dining areas. The bar and lounge are on the first floor, the kitchen on the second floor.
Diners get a good view of the kitchen on their way to the rest rooms, also on the second floor.
The most popular dining area is the Pope's Table, big enough to accommodate 18 people for the Pope, from a bust in the center of it all, to watch. Almost as popular, according to Corson, is the table for six in the kitchen, where you can watch the cooking. Bits of prosciutto are in the mix, the chopped lettuce is finely chopped, and the dressing is delicious. It comes already dressed, piled onto a platter. The Caesar salad, however, was ordinary.
