Again, thank you. We truly delivered on our motto, "Service Over Self."
I’m back at Mike’s Pasta House in Northfield NJ for wonderful homemade pasta and meatballs. Superb. If you have never had great, authentic homemade pasta and real old world meatballs, give Mike's a try. With salad it was $18 plus $3 extra for the homemade pasta option. Good lunch spot.... They’re busy for dinner. And, the waiter was a UNICO scholarship recipient some years back. I hear that my friend Lou Lombardi is a regular at Mike's.
Last night we had a wonderfully delicious dinner meeting at Barrels Authentic Italian Foods in Margate. We will be back there in April if you’d like to join us! Two members have been taking Italian through the pandemic courtesy of IACE Italian Language Center and presented some cultural ...expressions for our group to guess! Great work ladies!!!

UNICO National – “Join Us!”
What We Do
UNICO National is a service organization of Italian Americans established in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1922 to “engage in charitable works, support higher education, and perform patriotic deeds”. According to its website, it is the “largest Italian American service organization in the USA”. At that time of its founding, the trial of anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti were in the news, and many stories fostered a belief that Italian Americans were loyal primarily to their homeland. UNICO was founded to show that Italian Americans were loyal to America first and held no allegiance to Italy except through cultural traditions.
Unico is the Italian word for “unique”, chosen to represent the one-of-a-kind nature of the organization. The word has since become a backronym which stands for Unity, Neighborliness, Integrity, Charity, Opportunity.
