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 judgments against the business.
The Big Picture
Fabio and Ciro Casella own and run San Matteo, which has traded on Second Avenue since 2010, and it has taken no outside investment. Five former workers brought four federal wage-and-hour claims between 2019 and 2021 against the operating companies and Fabio Casella personally; two were resolved by court-approved settlements, and two by accepted offers of judgment of $10,000 each in January 2023. No further federal wage claims have been filed since.
