San Matteo
Neapolitan pizzeria · 1 location · NYC: Upper East Side
Two brothers from Salerno still own and run this Upper East Side pizzeria, with no outside investors. Five former workers brought four federal wage suits between 2019 and 2021; two settled, and two ended in $10,000 payouts the business offered rather than contest.
The Big Picture
Five former workers brought four federal wage claims against San Matteo and Fabio Casella personally between 2019 and 2021; two ended in court-approved settlements and two in accepted offers of judgment of $10,000 each in January 2023, and no federal claim has followed. The restaurant has traded on Second Avenue since 2010 and takes no outside money: Fabio and Ciro Casella own it and answer for it themselves.
