It’s not a paean to the quixotic pol, but a “Southern Italian hideaway” in Huntington that elicits cries of “bravissimo” for its “excellent” red-sauce fare, including “inventive fresh preparations” of “amazing” seafood; “it’s always worth squeezing” into the “tiny quarters” to “bask in Nader’s hospitality” and be sure you don’t say arrivederci before “having a Napoleon.”
