House Rules
Joseph Daniello



In 1931 a man named Joseph Daniello traveled from Italy to start a family in America. He was granted citizenship from Ellis Island. But after many failed attempts to retain employment due to his heritage and last name, he changed it. McDermott became our family name from then on. Like my family this restaurant has many hidden truths. The underground tunnels that lead beneath Vernon Street used both for the means to run moonshine during the prohibition era and brothels in the city. The numerous hidden trap doors within Daniello’s is testament to a truly discreet time.
