"With their combined passion for Italian food and the Astoria neighborhood, Leo Sacco and Giuseppe Falco decided to open Vesta Trattoria and Winebar - a neighborhood restaurant offering simple and Italian-inspired favorites guided by the local greenmarket.
They are committed to the Astoria neighborhood; the childhood friends grew up in the area and continue to call it home. Now an extension of their own homes, Vesta Trattoria and Winebar, is dedicated to serving the local community."

"Picada y Vino is a wine shop located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, specializing in the art of pairing wines with food. We believe that wine is all about delight and discovery. It is about finding and knowing your palate. Our shelves feature a diverse selection of more than 300 handpicked vintages from a wide variety of locales and an extensive range of grapes, with a focus on smaller production, high quality yet approachable wines that are meant to be enjoyed with a meal or simply with friends."
"Astor Wines & Spirits has always embraced our Village heritage of unconventional thinking and independent behavior. We have always honed our selections to what was best, rather than what was most popular; we never used other people’s wine ratings, but rather have always relied on our fearless wine buyers, who taste thousands upon thousands of wines each year and make selections based on their palates. And of course, we have always been emboldened by clients who share our passion for discovery and autonomy."
