NEW YORK -- Dennis Riese, president of the Riese Organization, and richard Krause, a veteran chef of several Manhattan restaurants, have teamed up and opened Martini's, an Italian restaurant and pizza oven in Midtown.
Pisto, who was bitten by the restaurant bug in the 1960s when he worked at his cousin's Italian-Jewish delicatessen, attended a Monterey school for chefs. His first job after graduation was at a full-service restaurant at the regional airport.In its latest configuration, The Whaling Station Inn Restaurant seats 170.However, while Koh and parent company executives focused on finding a new president, franchisees said they were left to fend for themselves and the chain's numbers declined."We have six fryers, and we have to change the oil four to five times a day," Pisto said of the routine at Abalonetti, which as an adjacent takeout store and a 35-seat dining patio.
Martini's is a partnership between Dennis Riese and Krause and is not affiliated with the Riese Organization -- the powerhouse, multiconcept franchisee in Manhattan.
