Cafe Italiano

Café Italiano manager Vagelie Karatzas and his family relocated their two-year-old, home-style Italian joint to the corner of Regal and 43rd Street from a tiny strip mall spot in the Indian Trail neighborhood. Both the size of the restaurant and its menu have roughly tripled, he says, with the menu offering classic Italian cuisine to seafood, Greek and Mediterranean dishes. So far, the community’s reception of the food newcomer has been very favorable. (December 2012)
