Three local Italian culinary powerhouses are joining forces to open a nostalgic neighborhood restaurant this month in Little Italy. Peanut Park Trattoria, perched on the corner of Taylor and Loomis streets, aims to establish itself as a cozy, casual haven serving handmade pasta and traditional favorites from Italy’s many regions.

The new collaboration is born of old bonds: the father and son behind top-notch deli Tempesta Market and classical suburban stalwart Ristorante Agostino, as well as the owner of wildly popular thin-crust pizzeria Coalfire. At the helm is Tony Fiasche, Tempesta’s resident salumi expert and son of Ristorante Agostino owner Agostino Fiasche. The younger Fiasche is eager to offer an experience akin to that of dining at his mother’s kitchen table.
