MAMMA FRANCESCA ON THE SOUND  Check out the views on the rear enclosed deck and view random fireworks. 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 Bronx man was sentenced to 20 years for pistol whipping, choking and robbing a 12-year-old girl who was returning home from school, prosecutors said. 


The defendant, Gabriel Narvaez, 46, formerly of East 164th Street, was sentenced to 20 years in prison each on first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary and seven years in prison for second-degree assault to run concurrently plus five years post-release supervision by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Jeanette Rodriguez-Morick. He was found guilty by a jury on November 12, 2024. 


“The defendant followed the girl home and brutally attacked her at the front door of her family’s apartment,” said Bronx District Attorney Clark. “Despite her injuries, she fought back. Hopefully, this sentence will bring a measure of justice to this brave child.”


According to the facts brought out at trial, on March 9, 2020, at approximately 3:50 p.m. on East 139th Street in the Mott Haven section, the defendant was outside the victim’s building when she came home from school. He followed her in and pulled a gun, and then pistol-whipped, punched, kicked, and choked her. As she struggled with the defendant, he took her keys and cellphone. 


Neighbors interrupted the attack, and the defendant ran out the front door. He left behind a surgical mask and baseball hat he was wearing. A DNA profile was extracted from those objects which matched the defendant, and he was arrested on November 19, 2020. The victim was transported to the hospital with gashes to her head, bruises to her body, and internal bleeding. After she was treated and released, she required follow up treatment to include psychiatric counseling.
