A little Restaurant News… centering around a true LI ‘Hidden Gem’😁

First, I’d like express once more my deepest gratitude to all our customers & friends, for the enormous outpouring of support, friendship, & warm wishes Victor & I received upon our recent retirement announcement. We were both deeply touched & honestly amazed by all the love!🥰

Right after my online emotional outpouring, our dining room was literally full the very next day- & remained so for 3 weeks, straight through our last day at Seventh Street Cafe - everyone coming up to Victor to congratulate him, wish him well, request that he sing, even take pictures with him.🥰🥰🥰

All of you totally transformed what had been a sad & difficult time for us, lifting us up dramatically with your love & friendship. Kindness & caring truly hold so much power…!💖
You created the joyful send-off from SSC that I wanted so badly for Victor. I was emotionally overwhelmed by your response. It was really something very special, unforgettable.💖🥰
I can’t thank you all enough!!!🤗❤️

However… after all that (not to mention all the interviews, Newsday, tv, etc), we ended up not retiring, after all...!🙃😆

After things were all wrapped up with the sale of Seventh Street Cafe, Victor jumped in the car - literally the very next day(!) - & drove over to our other location, Fox Hollow catering in Woodbury.

Victor walked in the door, and - immediately & without preamble - took over operation of our on-site fine dining restaurant here!!
I genuinely had no idea whatsoever that he was going to do this. Everyone involved, including me, was just stunned.😳😆

In any case, I am very happy to be at work here with Victor, & we brought a few of our SSC stars with us, as well:
our exceptionally talented manager, Deka, & several of our amazing dining room staff- making a great place even better!🌟

Our new home is a true hidden gem that many of you may not know about- I am proud to introduce:

🌟 VOLPE RISTORANTE 🌟
located inside the Fox Hollow!

Our menu features traditional old-world Italian dishes (as well as some with a twist…!). I am honestly so relieved to still have all my favorite, much-loved meals, prepared to perfection, still being placed before me each day! lol 🍽️🙏😅

Another similarity to Seventh Street Cafe: our dining area at Volpe is also divided into 3 sections- a layout providing us the perfect set-up for small parties, as well as a la carte dining - so, keep coming to us for your showers, rehearsal dinners, small weddings, etc!😁

⭐️ In addition to our regular a la carte Dinner Menu, we have several well-priced Mid-Week Special Offerings!
Featuring Lobster, Prime Rib, & Live Cheese Wheel Pasta -
the Cacio e Pepe is an absolute must-try!😍
(*Details in photo captions.)📸👀

Victor & I have been delighted when several of our old customers from SSC, having heard that we’re here, have come in to Volpe to check it out for dinner, & say hello to us! This of course makes us feel wonderful, & we are so happy to welcome these friendly customers!💗🥰😁

We love it here at Volpe… & we know you will, too! Come see us!

Wow…. We had an extremely emotional day yesterday, our last day….
Today, I walked over to our restaurant & looked in the window, in tears…
then came home to have this exquisitely-written article somehow appear in my newsfeed.✨😇
I read it to Victor, who was equally touched & deeply appreciative of this uniquely insightful telling of our story….
THANK YOU to the author🙏💗🥹🫶

For more than three decades, Seventh Street Cafe has occupied a beloved place in the cultural and culinary history of its Long Island community. When the doors first opened on December 7, 1992, the restaurant quickly became more than a dining establishment—it evolved into a welcoming gathering place shaped by tradition, hospitality, and the unmistakable presence of its owners. When Victor and Brooke stepped in as operators in December 2017, they infused the restaurant with a new chapter of energy and transformation. Their stewardship arrived at a moment when independent restaurants across the country were grappling with rapid industry shifts—changing dining trends, rising operational costs, and the growing influence of reservation platforms and digital service models. Yet under Victor’s leadership, Seventh Street Cafe not only adapted, it thrived. His hands-on approach—whether in the kitchen creating expressive, celebrated dishes or in the workshop crafting the restaurant’s signature fixtures—gave the space a unique, artisanal character rarely seen in modern dining.

History will undoubtedly remember the era beginning in 2017 as a renaissance for the restaurant. What had once been a well-loved establishment blossomed into a vibrant, consistently full dining destination, echoing the mid-century tradition of Italian-American hospitality that has left such a deep imprint on New York’s culinary landscape. Victor’s presence in the dining room, serenading guests with classic songs like O Sole Mio and My Way, evoked a timeless charm reminiscent of historic supper clubs and family-owned trattorias, where entertainment and dining merged into one warm experience. In these years, Seventh Street Cafe became known across Long Island as a premier celebration spot—especially for birthdays—continuing the long American tradition of neighborhood restaurants serving as the heart of communal memories. Under the Scotts’ guidance, the restaurant flourished in a way that reflected both their passion and the region’s historic love for Italian cuisine, family-style warmth, and storytelling.

The impending retirement of Victor and Brooke marks the conclusion of an extraordinary era—one shaped not only by business success but also by the deeper history of generational labor and dedication. Victor’s 58 years as a restaurant owner, and 62 years in the industry, link him to a storied lineage of American restaurateurs who built community through food, hospitality, and sheer perseverance. His retirement mirrors the broader trend of longtime family-owned restaurants transitioning to new hands as the industry evolves. Yet even as the Scotts prepare for their next chapter—including extended stays in Italy and cherished time spent without the pressures of daily operations—the legacy they leave behind is rich with meaning. Seventh Street Cafe’s history is ultimately a story of love, resilience, reinvention, and community—one that will continue to echo long after the final Christmas Eve service.
