Every so often, plans for an important new restaurant somehow remain under the radar almost until opening day. That’s the case with Tucci, a “sister” establishment to FiDi steakhouse phenomenon Delmonico’s and named for partner Max Tucci.

The Italian eatery boasting northern and southern dishes will open on March 15 at 643 Broadway on the corner of Bleecker Street in Noho. Like Delmonico’s, it will be run by co-owner Dennis Turcinovic and Tucci, who’s a grandson of the family that ran Delmonico’s in the first half of the 20th century.
