It’s the spot that was for a long time Specchio and recently became Piattini. It’s big, has two levels — and a full liquor license. Inside Scoop has the scoop:
Expect more details on the new project in the coming weeks, but Ley explains that it will be different from Dr. Teeth — but a complement to both that bar and the neighborhood. In particular, Callen — who comes from a restaurant background — will be spearheading the project. The working name of the new concept is the Buffalo Club.
The plan, according to Devito, is to keep it an Italian-themed restaurant, with a new focus on pizza. [link]

It will be interesting to see what they do with the space; the current design is very stylish but not all that appealing to eat in — particularly if the place is less than full. Hopefully the service will get friendly also.
