Openings: Saraghina, Bed-Stuy

Posted by Adam Kuban, June 2, 2009 at 8:15 PM

Opening Monday, June 8, 2009, is Saraghina in Bed-Stuy. Looks like a rustic Ball-jar joint with a wood-burning EarthStone oven. Grub Street has a slideshow and says this: "It’s good news for those who like the Neapolitan-style pizza served at Luzzo’s in the East Village: Luzzo's owner gave the fledgling pizzaioli partners not only his blessing but his top-secret flour-mixture formula." Saraghina: 435 Halsey Street, Brooklyn NY 11233 (at Lewis Avenue, Bed-Stuy); no phone or website yet

That's a great looking place. It looks like a cross between Tonda and Roberta's.

Yeah, but ... (and I hate to start picking nits before I've tried a place) ... I'm not a huge fan of Luzzo's. I think their crust is flavorless. If this place is using Luzzo's crust recipe, um ...

I love the name - I'm fairly certain this is a reference to the gypsy woman that the protagonist of Fellini's 8 1/2 watched dance by the sea as a child.

Too bad that place was closed when we got there at about 9:30PM last night. All was not lost though 'cause we headed to Lucali where we fortunate enough to get a table, but not without having to wait in line until about 10:15PM. On a Thursday night! Unf**kingbelieveable.

Ah ha. If I would have actually read the Grub Street article rather than heading directly to the slideshow, I would have discovered that they are not opening until Monday. Oh well.
