After 11 months in business and roughly 30,000 meatballs later at DeLuca's in Tottenville, Rob DeLuca announces the Italian restaurant's expansion. "I added about 60 seats with the outdoor dining with room to add more," said Rob. It debuts this weekend with the regular ala carte menu.

And DeLuca built a bocce court, a springboard from which he will launch special, summery menus for a new outdoor patio section -- Clams Casino, lighter fare like sandwiches and panini. Perennial favorites like Mamma's Meatballs and Veal Chop Milanese will also be highlighted.
