Craving a pizza or a hearty bowl of pasta? You’re in luck: Nittolo’s Little Italy, from restaurateur Eric Nittolo, is slated to open downtown in the Warehouse District in this April, pending licensing and approvals. The new spot was built out in the space where Cut & Run used to be, next to The Tasting Room on the ground floor of the Breakwater building.

Nittolo, who runs the eponymous (and popular) Nittolo’s Seafood & Pizza in Lake Leelanau, wasn’t necessarily looking to expand, but “they came after me,” he jokes. “A diner of mine is a real estate agent out in Elk Rapids and was like, ‘these guys would love to have you in their space.’”
