Bouncing Back

Stefano Barbagallo and Adriana Luque will open their South Street Seaport Italian restaurant Barbalu later this week. The space housed their old restaurant Barbarini Alimentari until it was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy's floodwaters. In a message to longtime fans, Stefano and Adriana note: "You can be sure that we will be serving the same delicious Italian fare you've loved in the past with some fun new additions." [EaterWire]
