ITA Kitchen is cooking up a new location on Long Island.
Salvatore and Christina Sorrentino, the husband-and-wife ownership team behind the Italian restaurant, announced they are opening an ITA Kitchen in East Moriches.
They confirmed to greaterlongisland.com that ITA Kitchen has taken over the former Coral Tapas & Wine Bar spot on Atlantic Ave. The Sorrentinos said the goal is to open later this year, sometime in May.
The restaurant, which sits along Moriches Bay, will boast 360-degree views of the water (just look at the rendering above).
This will be the third ITA Kitchen on the island.
The first one opened in Bay Shore back in 2019. The other one recently launched in Garden City South last year.
Using his over 20 years of experience in the restaurant game, Sal’s eclectic menu is made up of a number of creative dishes, such as pesto risotto balls; chicken burrata Caprese; four-cheese mac and cheese; meatballs the “size of softballs” filled with veal; and homemade ricotta gnocchi.
The Huntington couple will be using the new East Moriches location to serve “modern Italian fare while focusing on contemporary hospitality,” they said.
“This space will be an experience like no other on the east end,” reads an announcement on Facebook.
