On the weekends, they sell a potato and egg sandwich with salsa verde and garlic aioli." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"This new Italian spot comes from the owner of popular neighborhood spot Daphne’s over in Bed-Stuy; chef Paul Cacici is no stranger to the area, having opened Decades, a Ridgewood pizzeria nearby (with a separate partner). At the order-at-the-counter Arrigo’s of Fresh Pond Road, it’s all about Italian sandwiches. In particular, the veggie-friendly one with marinated artichokes, artichoke ricotta cream, onion, and mint-basil pesto was a favorite, but there’s also an Italian combo and meatball sub to consider. Their arancini are also some of our favorites we’ve ever had. Keep an eye out for nighttime service, where they’ll serve casual dinner items and wine sometime soon." - Caroline Shin

"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
