Future Home of Tazzina Forest Hills

A reader noticed that it looks like Tazzina, the new restaurant from celebrity chef Jason Zukas, who won the Chopped competition in 2009, will be opening in the former Piccola Italia location (and Tutto Bene before that), at 102-15 Metropolitan Ave. This is near the corner of 71st Ave..
