If you're thinking, "Does really need another Italian restaurant," from what we hear about this one, the answer is "absolutely". It opens on Wednesday, April 5 on Glenridge Ave in Montclair in the spot that was the location of Salute Brick Oven Bistro until last year. Introducing Luigino's Parmigiano, the creation of Chef Luigi Tripodi, a veteran of several Italian restaurants in the area, who is striking out on his own.

He plans on bringing a taste of the famous Amalfi Coast to his new spot with a "traditional funky" style. Much of the Italian food we're most familiar with comes from this area of Southern Italy where many of New Jersey's many Italian immigrants originate from. The plan is to offer some traditional Italian dishes with a modern twist along with something called a "dispensa" concept which is like a charcuterie board station.
