In the late twenties, Greenport became the mecca for our country's sailing forays in defense of "The America's Cup", which was wrested from England in 1851 by the yacht "America". Around the walls of Claudio's hang photographs and artifacts from our cup defenders including the great "J" boat racing ships. Many were outfitted by S.T. Preston's just across the street from Claudio's. Over the front porch windows of Claudio's you will find a piece of the main mast and the lower spreaders of the yacht "Enterprise", Commodore Vanderbilt's east-end crew who successfully defended the 1930 Cup Race.
For fifty-plus years Bill Claudio Sr. carefully guided Claudio's. He did a wonderful job preserving Claudio's as one of the most historic and well-known dining and boating sites on Long Island. In 1990, we, the fourth generation of Claudio's, embarked on the continuing voyage. We are proud of our 139th Anniversary in 2009 and recognition by the National Restaurant Association as the oldest, same family run restaurant in the United States.
