Front St.), the new Queen Village restaurant from the Campanaro clan and their longtime FOH friend Michael Romeo, has just started rocking it out at Front and Fitzwater, the longtime home of Frederick's. They've done one hell of a job shedding that old-school trattoria's dated design elements - many of the walls have been stripped to the original brick, and wraparound windows let in loads of natural light. The 90+ seat dining room's split up into three distinct areas, featuring burgundy banquettes and a checkered-tile "bistro" section half-framed by an in-operation service station; the bar, a beautiful, 26-foot-long single piece of mahogany, is the main focal point of the restaurant's south side, which also features a mini wine closet and neat photo-on-glass treatments of various real-life village belles on the bathroom doors. Chef Louis Campanaro, brother to chef Joey Campanaro of NY's Little Owl and Market Table (Joey's involved in this project, too), is doing a neighborhood-friendly Mediterranean-influenced (not strictly Italian) menu, with housemade pastas.
