Danny Mondello, the Staten Island native known as 'Cugine' for his popular food content online, is transitioning to a physical location with his new sandwich shop, Casa Cugine, opening in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. With a significant social media following, Mondello plans to offer a menu filled with unique sandwiches and nostalgic beverages. His Cugine persona draws heavily from his Staten Island roots and previous work at a local deli, bringing humor and personality to his food reviews and now to his sandwiches. The shop will honor its Italian neighborhood heritage.
A year ago, I was just making videos for fun. It's crazy to think where these videos have taken me.
The inspiration of 'Cugine' comes from that atmosphere. From the customers to the people I worked with, it's just very Staten Island.
His new venture will feature sandwiches familiar to Mondello's social media audience, including the 'Hey Toots' with sliced turkey and spicy soppressata.
Casa Cugine will open in a historically Italian section of Williamsburg, just doors away from established neighborhood fixtures.
