Tasty Tidbits: Triangolo

Art-deco inspired and complete with it's namesake theme, Triangolo Restaurant has been attracting locals with it's friendly neighborhood service for many years. Every time Peachy Deegan walks by Triangolo, she cannot help but notice how happy the sidewalk diners are, how excellent their dinners look, and how wonderful the fabulous Italian food smells.

Originally founded in 1990, Triangolo is now owned and run by Renato Mioele, who joined Triangolo as a waiter in 1992 and Chef Franco Brunetti, who was there from the start in 1990. It has become a neighborhood institution! Franco hails from Mola DiBari in Italy's Pouglia region (in the south). Franco designed the amazing menu and has cooked overseas at resorts in Southern Italy in the summers and at resorts in the Alps in the winters. Lucky for us Manhattanites he is now a chef here!

Owners Renato and Franco inject their personal warmth into the establishment, which is nestled into quiet 83rd street, beautifully lined with trees. Every night, each guest is welcomed by Renato and led to their table in a dining room that is decorated with vibrant colors, modern ceiling lamps,and certain “triangular“ patterns placed discreetly throughout the restaurant. Lace curtains adorn the windows,creating a serene environment in which diners are able to escape the bustle of mid-town Manhattan.

In the kitchen, Chef Brunetti is hard at work preparing many of his original dishes that he brought with him from Italy. Trained classically in his home country, he is proud to offer many nightly specials, as well as homemade pastas made right on premises.

Rotolo di Pasta Montanara-rolled pasta filled with spinach, porcini, and parmigiano is one of the signature dished that have kept regulars returning time and time again. Fresh salmon, sauteed with artichoke and cherry tomatoes, is prepared in a white wine sauce a “must have“ when dining at Triangolo. With prices that are affordable to most, dining here is a winning experience for everyone.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
