WE REMEMBER "THE SCOOTER"

We just learned the news of the passing of Yankees great Phil Rizzuto.

He was 89.

During his hall of fame career, Rizzuto won 7 World Series Championships and won the MVP Award in 1950. He also played in five all star games.

"The Scooter" was inducted in to the Hall of Fame in 1994.

After his playing career, the shortstop gained even more popularity as the quirky, idiosyncratic baseball voice of the Yankees.

He was probably most famous for the term, "Holy Cow" when describing a great play.

His biggest call as an announcer may have come on October 1, 1961, when he called Roger Maris' record breaking 61st home run on WCBS radio.

CELEBRATION SUNDAY!!

If it's Sunday, it usually means someone is celebrating with us here at Gaetano's!

We closed out a great weekend with two parties in our private dining room, including the Sweet 16 of Gaetano's favorite daughter, Kaila Cappello.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAILA!

Gaetano took care of the food and drinks with family style appetizers, an a la carte dinner, beer, wine and sangria. Aunt Carol decorated the room tirelessly with balloons and banners and Steve, Gaetano's house musician took care of the music and entertainment.

The room looked great, the family was out in full force, and it was a perfect Sunday afternoon at Gaetano's.

Enjoy the pictures below from Kaila's Sweet 16.

We hope it gives you an idea of the Gaetano's family atmosphere we create when you celebrate in our private party room.

We hope to help you celebrate real soon!
