Strega Pizzeria? do you mean Rina’s?
Rina’s appears to be very much under construction. Is it going to even reopen?
Strega restaurant has been gutted and is being renovated. When I walked by last week Rina’s looked like it was being used for storage and a construction office. Who knows what is going to happen to the Rina Space?
