"The team behind a Bed-Stuy Italian restaurant is opening an anticipated Italian Queens deli at 71-08 Fresh Pond Road (near 71st Avenue) on Thursday, May 1, starting with lunch service only; dinner — including wine service — will begin on Sunday, June 1. The 25-seat restaurant will make sandwiches such as the Italian combo, the artichoke pesto, a chicken cutlet, and the weekend potato-and-egg tortilla, and will offer house-made pastas like rigatoni and casarecce with short rib ragu." - Nadia Chaudhury
