BOOM: Ago Space to Be Named Locanda Verde

A name, a name, OMG it has a name! The revival of the Ago space, owned by Bobby De Niro, cheffed by Andy Carmellini, designed by Ken Friedman and (new intel!) Meyer Davis, and run by Josh Pickard will be named Locanda Verde, reports the Times grand dining poobah Pete Wells. Weird they didn't take any of our reader suggestions. Also in the rejection pile: Greenwich Kitchen. The restaurant is rumored to be opened on May 18.
