It’s looking like a new Italian eatery from Luca Pelliccioni will eventually open on Graham Avenue.
Balera LLC, registered to Luca Pelliccioni, is up for a full liquor license application for 442 Graham Avenue, a former restaurant space that was vacated last year.
Luca Pelliccioni who has been involved with Briscola in Crown Heights, and upscale, modern red sauce joint is listed on the LLC applying for the license. He’s also co-owner of Roman-style pizzeria Impasto Pizzeria
Another new project Pelliccioni has coming up is Osteria Radisa in Carroll Gardens which is nothing more than a logo at this point.
The retail space had long been home to Da Francesco, a contemporary Italian restaurant that recently closed — or rather, relocated and reinvented itself on Grand Street.
There’s no official word yet online other than an Instagram account that doesn’t yet exist at @balera_nyc.
