Celebrating Growth: Ribbon Cutting for Cutting Tonino's Trattoria
April 29th, 2026

The Long Island SBDC (Stony Brook) was proud to join community and business leaders in celebrating the grand opening and expansion of Tonino’s Pizza into its newly renovated neighboring space, now home to the beautiful Tonino’s Trattoria featuring an inviting and beautiful new dining room and bar.

This exciting milestone reflects the vision, dedication, and continued success of father and son owners Tony and Rico Intravaia, whose commitment to quality and community has helped Tonino’s become a local favorite!

Joining the celebration were representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration, M&T Bank, and the Long Island SBDC, all recognizing the importance of supporting small business growth and economic development.

We congratulate Tony and Rico and the entire Tonino’s team on this exciting new chapter and wish them continued success!
