“It’s going to be a casual, affordable neighborhood cafe,” says owner, Chef Roberto Leoci, who with his wife, is currently hard at work renovating the little restaurant at 606 Abercorn. There will be a spacious outdoor deck along one side and around the back, plus they hope eventually to have a bocce court. The menu will be Italian, primarily pizza, pasta and panini. However, when we mentioned our passion for veal, the chef said he might add a nice veal scaloppini to the mix. Leoci already has his beer and wine license approved, so that obstacle course is over. He hopes to be open in just a few weeks, though we suspect the extensive renovations may take a bit longer than that. Buon appetito!
