The Food resembles that same history, Chef Massimo Felici takes his culinary expertise and apply it to this new venture taking cues from the great talents and techniques of the present and the future. Traditional dishes like Stuffed Long Hots, Seafood salad, Linguine Vongola, Chicken Parmigiana and Scarpariello and Steak Diane, elevated to a new level. Elegant Tablecloth settings, burgundy booths, Chandeliers and mirrors a large bar and a glass wine room gives Don Cheech that Old School-Elegant atmosphere.

    We came to Don Cheech for the first time as new Staten Islanders who tend to gravitate towards Brooklyn celebrating a very momentous occasion in our life (being cancer free!), and everything from the food to the service did not disappoint. Stephanie is an actual gem - I called prior to our reservation to ask for a dessert request with writing, and she was so gracious and heartfelt over why we were celebrating over dinner. She connected with us the whole time, checked up on how we were doing constantly, all while chef Massimo prepared for us the most amazing meal. The ambiance was fantastic - a quiet Thursday night with a great week day special if you’re looking for that - it was the best all around. We can’t wait to be regulars here!!!

    It was my first time here. I was very happy with my experience and will return. Everyone from the hostess, to the waitress, to the owner/chef couldn’t have been more pleasant. The appetizer and main courses were delicious and we were treated with a house made chocolate ganache and after dinner drinks for my birthday! I definitely recommend and was worth the trip from Tottenville!

    The food was flavorful, plentiful and delicious 😋. The Italian music playing in the background was very enjoyable. The waitstaff, especially Stephanie, were all attentive and friendly! The portions were large and the prices were very reasonable!
