Piccola Cucina Focacceria opened on Monday, and chef-owner Philip Guardione has also managed to right its mothership, Piccola Cucina. You’ll recall that paperwork issues scuttled the Soho Italian joint just a month after it opened, but it has now rebooted with a fall menu you can see below. To celebrate, they’ll be doling out free glasses of prosecco during lunch and dinner from now until Sunday.
