273 Kitchen serves up Mediterranean cuisine with gusto

At 273 Kitchen, you can get a side of personality along with your Mediterranean food.

The Harrison Avenue restaurant in Harrison prides itself on its family-like service. It opened nearly three years ago.

Michael Mazzella is the eatery's general manager.

"Growing up Italian in the Bronx, the dining room table was the most important part of my day," he says. "I touch every single plate that comes out of the kitchen."

He says the restaurant keeps everything fresh. 

Specialties like Spanish octopus arrive every day.

So when the supply runs out, it's out. Customers have to wait for the next day's fresh shipment.
