A new Italian restaurant, EATalia, 143 Post Road East, opens next week, according to owner Sam Septembre, a Greenwich resident (see WestportNow, Sept. 12, 2012). Formerly occupied by Joe’s Pizza, which relocated to 190 Main St. last June, EATalia features “authentic Italian cuisine with new wave dishes—all at reasonable prices.” Septembre said that, while awaiting a beer and wine license, the restaurant offers a BYOB (bring your own bottle) policy. Septembre said he is the former owner of a family-operated Italian restaurant, Sammy from the Bronx, in the Morris Park section of the Bronx. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
