Dining Divas: Narducci's Cafe (with video)
By Dining Divas
Narducci's Cafe is a long-standing staple in Old Town Kern with a rich history. Marino Narducci and wife Jennie bought the Amestoy Hotel building in 1967 from Francisco and Marie Amestoy, who used to serve French and Basque food there, said current co-owner and manager Julie Shine. Eventually, the new owners renamed it Narducci's. Son Jimmy Narducci took over in 1977, is well-liked by loyal patrons, and continues to help Julie run the place.
