Car Crashes Into Brownstone Inn Owner's Allendale Restaurant

About four months after the column outside Wyckoff’s Brownstone Inn was toppled by a hit-and-run driver, a drunk driver crashed into the restaurant’s sister location in Allendale Monday, nj.com reported.

According to the report, a car traveling west on West Allendale Ave. Monday morning drove over an island and crashed into the front of the shuttered Pastafino restaurant, causing “extensive damage.”

The driver, a 20-year-old from Ramsey who was not identified, was charged with reckless driving and driving under the influence, the report said. He was not hurt in the accident, it said.

In August, a trucker from Tennessee was ticketed after he knocked into the column outside the Brownstone in Wyckoff, and kept driving. 

Both Pastafino and the Brownstone were closed in 2011. 

In September, the owner of both restaurants, Aziz Kastrati, 55, of Wyckoff, was sentenced to six months in prison. He pleaded guilty in April of this year to “structuring” or depositing over $650,000 in increments under $10,000 to avoid currency reporting requirements.
