Fornino Park Slope?

Rumor has it that Chef Michael Ayoub is returning to the neighborhood with a new restaurant! Ayoub, now the owner of Fornino Pizza in Williamsburg, was the owner of Cucina, a beloved Park Slope Italian eatery which occupied the former Tempo Restaurant space for many years.

On a recent walk past 256 Fifth Avenue, it seemed clear that the work crew was trying to meet a coming deadline. Our suspicions were confirmed by several Fornino job postings on Craigslist, which said that the spot would be opening by the middle of this month.

We are trying to secure an interview with Mr. Ayoub about his latest Park Slope hot spot. Stay tuned!

By the way, if you have restaurant experience, these Fornino jobs might be for you. The links are listed below:
