Casa Rustica
Overview
Family run and operated, the “Boss,” Mimmo Gambino, opened the doors of Casa Rustica in Smithtown, NY, in 1985. In the past, he had created many fine-dining establishments in New York City. Born and raised in a “small town you’ve never heard of in Palermo, Italy,” as Mimmo Gambino used to say, Mimmo came to New York City to purse the American dream. Focusing on his Sicilian upbringing, he instilled a new culture to the recipes that we still use today.
