Sparks Steak House is a steakhouse restaurant in New York City, located at 210 East 46th Street (between Second and Third Avenue) in Midtown Manhattan.[1]

History

Entrance in 2008,
at 210 East 46th Street

The restaurant was founded by brothers Pasquale (Pat) and Mike Cetta in 1966. In the 1930s, Mike and the Cetta family had immigrated to New York from Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi in Campania, Italy, eventually working as butchers and winemakers in New York City.

The two Cetta brothers purchased the Sparks English Pub in 1966 and decided to turn it into a steakhouse. The steakhouse was originally located at 123 East 18th Street but moved to its current location in 1977.[2] Pat had a heart attack and died in his apartment on the evening of January 24, 2000.

In 1985, Gambino crime family boss Paul Castellano and underboss Thomas Bilotti were gunned down outside its entrance on the evening of December 16.[3][4][5][6] The hit was given under the orders of John Gotti.[7]
