ts 4 in the afternoon on a cold,
sunny Friday, one week prior to
Thanksgiving. The vast majority of
dinner restaurants are only begin-
ning to awaken their sleepy eyes, com-
mencing the process of readying them-
selves and prepping for a long night
ahead.
But Ginas Ristorante, located just a
few feet from the Lincoln and Landis
Avenues ShopRite supermarket, is already
abuzz with activity.
While co-ownerand namesakeGina
DePasquale, along with front-of-the-house
specialist Andrew Johnson patiently
indulge this columnists queries, the 60-
or-so-seat eatery begins to quickly fill
with young men and women.
All told, nearly 20 lanky teens, cross
country squad members of the Buena
Regional High SchoolChef/Owner
Anthony DePasquales alma materhappily
assemble to dine en masse.
Their chatter and demeanor speak
volumes about Ginas.
This event is equal parts esprit de
corpsthe team regularly gathers here to
sup in preparation for big meetsand a
weekend-kickoff social occasion at the
tidy BYOB on Vinelands eastern
perimeter.
Which seems to be exactly what
Anthony and Gina had in mind when they
moved their restaurant here from
Millvilles downtown business district just
under two years ago.
After graduating from what was then
called Atlantic Community Collegesnow
Atlantic Cape Community College
Academy of Culinary Arts in 1986,
Anthony began his career, like many great
chefs, toiling early in the morning.
Specifically, he explains I was flipping
eggs at Larrys II, working for Bob

Anthony and Gina DePasquale moved their Ginas Ristorante from
Millville to Vineland nearly two years ago. A few months ago they
started serving lunch. Most dinner entrees at this BYOB, located in
the Lincoln & Landis ShopRite Plaza, can be enjoyed for around $15.

Middleton.
After that first post, his impressive
career brought years spent working at the
nearby Garden Room as head chef, then
executive chef at Scotland Run Country
Club, plus stints at Vinelands gone-but-
not-forgotten Caf Centro and longtime
Millville mainstay Winfields.
Asked to define his personal culinary
style, Anthony is quick to allow that I'm
all over the board.
Or, in the words of longtime associate
Johnsonemployed with the chef since
his first job, at age 14Everything has its
own little twist.
Like the veal mezzaluna trio, which is
layered eggplant topped with sauteed veal
medallions over three separate raviolis
meat, cheese and spinachfinished with
fresh mozzarella.
Or a unique, hearty meat combo called
the Butchers Block. Consisting of barbe-
cue beef short ribs, paired with a maple
bacon-wrapped pork mignon (a most
unusual, yet worthwhile, cut) along with
grilled sausage from quality local provider
Serras and grilled boneless chicken. This
meaty masterpiece is sided with roasted
long hots and a roasted garlic mash and
presented, appropriately, on a wooden
block.
Its also notable as one of only a couple
of items on the bill of fare topping the $20
price plateau.
Most main courses are very affordable,
in the $15 dollar range.
Mussels are perhaps the top seller here,
with Anthony telling us that he regularly
plates up to 100 pounds of the Prince
Edward Island products weekly.
Ginas also functions as family restau-
rant in the truest sense of that word.
DePasquale siblings Anthony Jr., 22, a
recent Rowan University grad, and
Brandon, 19, currently matriculating at his
fathers former culinary school in Mays
Landing, both find employment here.
Mom Gina, a full-time cardiac ultra-
sound technician, still helps head server
Johnson manage the dining room.
Watching her careful interaction, training
young staffers in advance of the Friday
night crush, was most revealing.
Nineteen year-old Colby Maxillawho
Gina refers to as like another sonacts
as Anthonys kitchen assistant.
Anthony DeCesero, Sr., also helps han-
dle front-of-the-house duties several
nights weekly.
Other personnel include servers
Caitlyn Cavagnaro, Olga Bakalenko and
Jake Hatki, dishwasher/busser Jarrett
Pierotti, brothers Bobby and Anthony
Millerserving respectively as a dish-
washer and food runnerand Nico
DeCesero, also a busser/food runner.
Anthony, who tweaks the menu up to
four times yearly to reflect and utilize sea-
sonality, tells us that customers should
expect to soon see an an entree of braised
short ribs on a bed of brown-sugared
sweet potatoes, ladled with a rich demi-
glace, topped by French fried onions.
Other prospective additions, according
to the chef, will be a lot more chicken
and pasta dishes.
Which might make those same athletes
very happy, should they choose to return
this spring prior to high school track and
field competitions. I
