(I think you might be thinking of "Auntie Pasto's".)
I am now, well informed about where to go in Texas for antipasto.
Do you know the NY Italian way (from children and grandchildren of immigrants ) to pronounce P is with a B? And the word pasta is only used for specific dishes and the word Macaroni is the word used in general. And the letter A gets lost from pasta most times? As in anti- bast. Bast and Cheech.
Basta fazool (pasta fagioli). And most families said gravey instead of sauce.
It’s was like the Sopranos everyday in my old Bronx neighborhood of the 1950s. Eh Fugetaboutit
