As we reported last week, Gencarelli’s Cucina has changed its name to Mondo, and is serving up dishes inspired by world flavors.
What does that mean? Here’s an example: Fettuccine Ameritanea, a riff on the traditional southern Italian dish Amatriciana. Chef Joe Stivala amped up the classic recipe by adding a few flavor-packed twists.
You may have noticed the sign above 381 Bloomfield Avenue no longer reads Gencarelli’s Cucina. The signage now bears the name: Mondo, and in sub text, “Eatery by Gencarelli’s Cucina.”
For the owners of Mondo, Debbie and Nicole Gencarelli, the name change isn’t simply superficial. The biggest part the story circulates around Chef Joe Stivala, the new executive chef at Mondo.
