In our previous post, we shared the exciting news that Sabba would be opening at the corner of Union Turnpike and 178th Street, taking over the space formerly occupied by Acquista Trattoria (which closed earlier this year after 23 years as a neighborhood favorite). However, we’ve since learned that plans have changed, and we’re thrilled to announce a new restaurant coming to the neighborhood instead!
Introducing Prima Di Carne – A Glatt Kosher Steakhouse
The same location will now become home to Prima Di Carne, a high-end glatt kosher steakhouse promising a refined dining experience for meat lovers in Jamaica Estates. While we’ll certainly miss Acquista Trattoria’s classic Italian fare, this new addition brings an exciting culinary option to our community.
What to Expect:
- Premium Glatt Kosher Steaks & Fine Dining
- Elegant Atmosphere (perfect for special occasions or a night out)
- A New Destination for Kosher Food Enthusiasts
Stay Tuned for Updates!
As more details emerge about Prima Di Carne’s opening date and menu, we’ll be sure to keep you informed. In the meantime, we apologize for any confusion caused by our earlier report and appreciate your understanding as we share this correction.
Change can be bittersweet, especially when saying goodbye to a longtime establishment like Acquista Trattoria, but we’re looking forward to welcoming Prima Di Carne and supporting another great local business.
