cataldo's on vanderbilt?
Just wondering if anyone knows what is up with the restaurant Cataldo's on Vanderbilt, I think between Bergen and Dean. I understand it was a short-lived pizza/Italian place; it's been closed for some time, and now it looks like it's being worked on again...

no, wait. perusing a PH board, i see it actually never did open. I that right? and i see that it's owned by the same folks of Vinny's on Smith near Union (a wonderfully, deeply Italian-American, family-style joint--like out of the movies Italian-American...like you're in Moonstruck or something.... Best fried calamari/shrimp ever...). Anyone know what's up??

They just reopened this Monday. It's owned by the brother of the family that owns Vinny's (and another brother owned Nino's in Carroll Gardens). You are so right--they are a terrific, authentic Italian-American family, and boy can they cook! We went on Monday night. SOme of us had the pizza--the best we've had east of Grimaldi's. They have a hand-tiled wood fired oven, and the crust and toppings were out of this world. Others of us had the veal sorrentina and parmagiana. So tender, lean and tasty. Somebody else said the lobster is phenomenal. With unbelievably reasonable prices, I think this place will be a huge success.
