In 2017, Sicilian chef John Gambino embarked on a culinary journey that transformed dining in Aquebogue, NY. With 30 years as a celebrated restaurateur in Westhampton Beach, John brought his expertise to Long Island’s North Fork, dreaming of a unique farm-to-table restaurant. Inspired by the region’s scenic countryside, he set out to blend Sicilian traditions with local flavors.
John’s passion for fresh, seasonal ingredients shines through in every dish. A skilled Sicilian chef, he sources the finest produce and seafood from North Fork farms and waters, often hand-selecting ingredients himself during peak seasons. His dedication ensures an authentic, high-quality dining experience.
At the heart of this vision is Il Giardino—“The Garden” in Italian. Founded by John Gambino, this charming Aquebogue restaurant captures the essence of Sicilian cuisine with a farm-to-table twist. Since opening, Il Giardino has become the North Fork’s premier destination for savoring Sicily’s rich flavors, crafted with local ingredients. When you dine at Il Giardino, you’ll experience how John brings a piece of Sicily to the North Fork.
