When Nick DiCostanzo was growing up on the Island of Ischia on the Coast of Naples in Italy, his earliest memories where of the simple seaside meals he would enjoy with his family, farm-to-table and of course sea-to-table. As proprietor of Mamma Francesca in New Rochelle for nearly 40 years, located on the banks of Long Island Sound with 6-story views of the ‘Queen City’s’ seafaring boat clubs, this culinary philosophy still holds true.

BRONX - A South Bronx party got so out of control that one guest was shot and another was pistol whipped and stripped by a group of partygoers, cops said. 


At around 1 am on November 17, a group of people attended a party inside an apartment building at 1880 Bathgate Avenue. Cops said during the party, a 38-year-old male got into an arguement with another man. When the fight turned physical both fighters’ supporters joined in. Cops said a 32-year-old and another unidentified male joined the fracas.


 


Then the unidentified male pulled out a handgun and shot the 38-year-old party goer in the torso. The victim somehow ran out of the apartment. 


The attackers then turned their attention on the 32-year-old who tried to help the victim. Cops said the gunman pistol whipped the victim upside the head and the man who got into the dispute hit him with an unknown object. As the victim lay bleeding on the floor, the attackers stripped his clothes and shoes from him and ran out of the building. 


Cops said the attackers fled in a white BMW that was last seen heading westbound on East 175th Street. 


The 38-year-old gunshot victim was transported by private means to BronxCare Health System where he was treated and listed in stable condition. 


The 32-year-old pistol whip victim was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital where he was treated and listed in stable condition. 


The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspects as they walked out of the apartment.
