Central Food Market at Ponce City Market has been a flurry of activity of late , and foodies are about to get another spot to try with today's opening of Bellina Alimentari .
The Italian kitchen, bar, market and culinary club was developed by architect and designer Tal Postelnik Baum, who spent the past few years working in restaurants in Florence. Executive chef David Berry, formerly of Horseradish Grill, will serve up Italian classics including maltagliati della sorellina, house-made maltagliati pasta with mushroom ragù and crispy chicken bites; seasonal vegetable dishes; and Francesina, a traditional Tuscan pulled beef and sweet onion stew, served over creamy polenta.
