A tortellini specialist with a Miami restaurant is bringing his Italian family’s recipes to Hudson Square next week. Giancarlo “Wendy” Cacciatori plans to open Nonna Beppa, named after Cacciatori’s grandmother, at 290 Hudson St., between Spring and Dominick streets, on Monday. The restaurant will put the chef’s family-recipe tortellini at front-and-center, serving it along with other pastas out of the 75-seat space.

The chef-restaurateur also has Italian restaurant Via Emilia 9 in Miami, which opened in 2014 and serves pasta and regional fare from parts of Italy like Bologna and Modena. It picked up some acclaim while there: During an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown, musician Questlove shouted out the restaurant, saying the pasta at Via Emilia is “much, much better than good.”
