Cynthia Pacillo grew up in an Italian-American home, married an Italian-American man and, nearly three years ago, opened Cyndia's, a popular Italian-American breakfast-and-lunch spot in Totowa, the small borough in Passaic County that has the seventh-highest percentage of Italian residents of any municipality in the United States and the second-highest in New Jersey.
So her meatballs had better be good. "All the Italian people eat my meatballs," said the affable, brown-haired 52-year-old mother of three one recent morning, sipping a hot cup of coffee in the cozy, 47-seat dining room of Cyndia's — it's named for the way her Italian mother-in-law pronounces her name. "How cool is that?"
