Frascelli's moved?

[Robin Garr]

We were out in Crestwood today, and I got the idea of going by Frascelli's to see how it was doing. Got into the Crestwood Station parking lot, and the place was dark, all the fixtures gone, stripped down to the bare walls and floors.

Has this been previously reported and I missed it?

Wow, that was quick. I was just by there a couple of days ago and he looked like he was open.
Everybody has been telling me how good he was doing there with the karaoke thing on Wednesday and Friday. I wonder if the karaoke business ran off some of his regular customers. Sorry to hear it.

This is the one in the back of Crestwood Station, diagonally across from El Tarasco, right? I was wondering if they might have moved to a new location. I swear I saw it with my own eyes, though: No cars anywhere nearby, it looked dark, and when I went up and peered through the window to the right of the door, there was nothing inside but clean concrete floor.

ok i was just there a fews ago my self. they had moved a couple of yrs. ago robin. they are not in the back to the right side, but just when you pull in there to the left next to chase manhatten bank.
they took over a restaurant that had left. is this what you saw.
oh please don't let this be true. i talked to heather the owner when i was there ans she said they were doing fine.
where the heck am i'm going to get my meatballs if this is true. lol

No, wait, this is why I asked! I must have missed seeing it on the left. We went to the place at the back on the RIGHT ... but in my defense, it STILL HAS THE SIGN UP. Dang! We ended up driving back downtown to Hillbilly Tea, which was a good experience after all the grief I've raised about the name.

But I had my mouth set for some good old Queens/Brooklyn-style family Italian.

I'll change the title so as not to be misleading.

Robin,

Yeah, they are definitely still there...Actually I was in there today. Pretty darn good pizza and according to my lovely bride (who has tried both) it compares favorably to Papalino's. Can't make any claims to that effect myself (since I haven't been to Papalino's) but I have enjoyed Frascelli's pizza and sandwiches very much.

That makes since. I been hearing that their business is growning. This was a shock. Glad to hear that it's not the case.

Me too! That's why I changed the header of the top post right away so as not to be misleading.

I do feel kinda stoopid, too, but I'll say this: If they can't get the old name taken off the front of the building right away, they really ought to put a poster on the door of the old place or something, for the benefit of the clueless like me.

TURN AROUND AND LOOK, STUPID

would probably work.

Jiminy Christmas and slap the defib on my chest! My heart stopped for a brief moment! The pizza there is top notch (pepperoni & sausage) and the folks are very friendly. That whole plaza needs a dusting as you can't tell if it's open or not.

I noticed the old sign too but also the new location.

I heard that a new Japanese restaurant is moving into Crestwood Station. Maybe they are taking the old Fascelli's location... Glad to hear that Fascellie's is still there.

Darren and Heather are still in business and are looking forward to South East opening their new center there. It should bring a lot more traffic to the complex. I'll say something to Darren about taking down that sign, but in his defense Robin, he did move.. 3 years ago

I don't go in as often as I should. It is a little tough for me. Most of my regulars are regulars there now and I always wonder what I should have done differently at my own shop.
