Two Riverside restaurant owners face felony charges after being accused Friday of failing to pay New York state sales taxes.Antipasti, an Italian restaurant and wine bar at 1 N. Broadway, was charged with one count of second-degree grand larceny, a felony.
The charges were the result of joint investigations by the Westchester County District Attorney's Office and the state Department of Taxation and Finance.
Citi Center Café Inc., doing business as Antipasti, was accused of collecting and then failing to report sales-tax receipts in excess of $56,000 between Nov. 1, 2007, and Nov. 1, 2008.
The owners, Tim Gaglio and Mark Mazzotta, also own Amore Pizzeria and Pasta with locations on Broadway in Thornwood and Main Street in Armonk.
Tim Gaglio and Mark Mazzotta also own Pomodoro Pizzeria & Trattoria on East Putnam Avenue in Riverside.
Gaglio and Mazzotta could not be reached for comment.
Restaurants in New York are licensed to act as sales-tax agents and are required to remit those payments to the Department of Taxation on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis based on volume.
Antipasti's felony court date is pending.
It is unclear if Tim Gaglio and Mark Mazzotta are current on Town of Greenwich or State Of Conneticut tax payments.
