CASALINGA SICILIAN KITCHEN, PREVIOUSLY FINA PIZZA BAR

Fina Pizza Bar is now Casalinga Sicilian Kitchen. "Casalinga" means "home cooking."

The brick oven from Italy is still in place. The menu has expanded. Offerings include tapas (small plates), paninis, salads, a ricotta and mozzarella calzone, large "signature" pizzas, soda (Coca-Cola and Stewart's), beer, wine, sangria, and desserts.

On the list of tapas is Jumbo Sicilian Baked Wings marinated in lemon, extra virgin olive oil, Italian herbs, and spices, then firewood baked and topped with caramelized onions.

One of the pizzas is a Spinachoke Signature Pie, whose ingredients are sauteed spinach and artichoke hearts smothered in Alfredo sauce and mozzarella. 

Desserts include Buono Notte Pie, made from cannoli cream, Nutella, strawberry, banana, and whipped cream.

SLOW PROGRESS ON PIZZA PLACE

The wait continues.

"Brick Oven Pizza, Beer, Wine" is getting closer to opening, but it looks like it still has a long way to go.The banner promising "Coming Soon" was hung in April, and the opening was scheduled for September. But "The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men" are sometimes thrown a curveball.

Come on, pizza, we're ready for you!

TWO RESTAURANTS NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION ON FORT HAMILTON PARKWAY

The next incarnation for 3021 Fort Hamilton Parkway is a vegetarian Mediterranean restaurant/cafe. Construction is in the very early stages.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

If these walls could talk.... They can't, but graduates of Immaculate Heart of Mary School can. They responded to my question about what used to be in this space. My thanks to all of them.

The building, located between E. 2nd and E. 3rd streets, was constructed in 1931. In the 1950s, the Chaousy family purchased it. Chaousy's Pharmacy occupied the storefront from the 1950s until 1972. In the 1980s, Miss Janet's Dance Studio used the space, until she moved it to Church Ave. and E. 4th Street. A bakery was next, for a year or two. It may have been a pottery place in the 1970s or 80s.

After that, Zyl-Art operated there until the mid-1990s; Nicky and Maryanne decorated eyeglasses and sunglasses there. Pit Stop, red-haired Barbara's candy and grocery store, rented the space for a year (two years? longer?), and then the owner of the building converted it to an office for his own use.

In May 2012, Robin Chaousy (IHM School, Class of 1965) sold the building to Richard A. Prins for $1,325,000. He put the space up for rent in August 2012. Mr. Prins let it be used as a temporary art gallery from May 2013 to June 2013 while he looked for a tenant.

-----------------------------------------------------------------  

The other restaurant under construction is Fina Pizza. It's going to replace Maria's Pizzeria at 3007 Fort Hamilton Parkway, also between E. 2nd and E. 3rd streets. This building was also constructed in 1931. Not much progress has been made since the "Coming Soon, Brick Oven Pizza - Beer - Wine" sign was hung in April.

PIZZA IS ON ITS WAY

Fina Pizza place is going to open on Fort Hamilton Parkway, after what feels like a very long time without one. Brick oven pizza, beer, and wine will be served at 3007 Fort Hamilton Parkway, between E. 2nd and E. 3rd streets, the space previously occupied by Maria's Pizzeria. 

One block from the Windsor Terrace-Kensington border.
