A new Italian restaurant opened its doors in Bayside’s 41st Avenue, hosting its soft launch this month as a string of new eateries open in the neighborhood. Valdari opened its doors at 41st Avenue between Bell Boulevard and 214th Place on Nov. 18 with the restaurant’s owner, David Arias, doubling as its chef.

"Yes, We’re Open!" an Instagram announcement reads. "Know About Us Before Everyone Else." The restaurant offers pasta, pizzas, steak and burgers and its hours are noon to 11 p.m., seven days a week, according to the menu on its website.
