These days, Mosca’s hard-to-find supperclub is run by Johnny and Mary Jo Mosca. Like any real Italian restaurant, of course, Johnny is the son of Provino Mosca, who originally opened the restaurant with his wife in 1946 after leaving one of the same name behind in Chicago. The menu is small and set in its ways, but that just means they’ve had 60 years to perfect their never-been-shared recipes for things like Chicken a la Grande and Chicken Cacciatore. Don’t bother asking, because Johnny and Mary Jo never confirm or deny their alleged mofia ties. Your job is to try to remember to save room for dessert. And bring cash; they still don’t accept credit cards, and probably never will. They did, however, start taking reservations, unless it’s a Saturday.
