The new Fabiola’s Spaghetti House and Deli, open since last November on 1301 Regent St., is all about connecting the past to the present — and making good food.  Fabiola’s is both an Italian American spot and a Jewish deli, though not a kosher one. Spaghetti and deli?

Yes, says owner Sam Brown. The Greenbush neighborhood, where the restaurant is located, was traditionally a Jewish and Italian immigrant enclave and the corner of Park and Regent streets, known as Spaghetti Corners. Brown wanted to merge the two traditions and create a red sauce restaurant, serving American-Italian food.
