Having decided to do the Rockaway, I relaxed, leaned back and made it to the end of Beach 116 Street only to discover that hunger pains were signaling the need for action.
Limited sit down choice in the vicinity made stopping by Tiberio a necessity as at the moment we were more interested in a clean bathroom, water and a comfortable seat than expanding the search radius.
Tiberio Dimare is the Rockaway Park version of Cheers insofar as the staff seemed to know just about every customer's name. Genuine hospitality, that art lost to disinterested waiters and crumbling communication skills, is alive and well at Tiberio. Our waitress actually spoke with us, as humans once did, about the area, about where we are from and spoke with pride about this little restaurant.
It's the kind of place where, when having food wrapped to go, the waitress will give tips on the best way to reheat the item. (A microwave is clearly forbidden!)
Or where you'll get an alert that the police are checking for tickets on the main street so if you need to step outside, that's understandable.
The menu is filled with Italian American classics, with plenty of seafood and pasta options. Despite being a short distance from actual water, I was feeling more like eating a land creature and there's nothing finer than a baby cow that's been raised and slaughtered just for my pleasure.
I'm talking about veal, veal francese to be exact. I received three thin slices, lightly breaded and with a generous twist of the pepper shaker. A side bowl of spaghetti and tomato sauce served as my side.
Compared to places that will offer up a massive chunk of veal, I actually enjoyed the sectioned variation. There was less cutting for me and that resulted in less wait time to eat.
Tender and tasty, I'd easily order the veal again. Additionally, the spaghetti was sitting in a sauce that was chunky and flavorful as opposed to the watery tomato type.
Prices were roughly $20 for the veal francese and other entrees were in that vicinity.
Note that the establishment is cash only. If I had more cash on me I would have eaten much more.
