A Tribute to Family

Eileen’s Cucina + Steakhouse is a heartfelt tribute to Eileen D’Amelio — the beloved mother of PJD Hospitality founder Peter D’Amelio and matriarch to ten children. Inspired by the warmth, generosity, and simple elegance of her Sunday meals, the concept brings to life a modern Italian steakhouse rooted in family, tradition, and the rich culinary heritage of Florence. Several menu favorites are drawn directly from Eileen’s own recipes — including handmade ravioli, veal scaloppini, her slow-simmered Sunday sauce, and her beloved ice box cake. From housemade pasta and hand-cut steaks to wood-fired pizzas and seasonal dishes, every detail reflects her legacy of gathering loved ones around the table. At Eileen’s, guests are welcomed like family and invited to share in the timeless joy of breaking bread together.
