What it is: First launching as a pop-up at Normandie inspired by co-owner Amanda Cannon’s New Jersey upbringing with red sauce dishes, Sunday Sauce is now a brick-and-mortar at 902 N Killingsworth Street. The restaurant features a comforting menu of meatballs, garlic bread, eggplant parm, and, yes, a “Sunday sauce” dish— rigatoni with day-long braised beef and pork.
When it opened: Thursday, October 23
Where it is: 902 N Killingsworth Street

What it is: Top Chef alum Gabriel Pascuzzi has opened pasta and cocktail bar Hey Luigi. A hearty snacks-and-appetizer menu of items like anchovy toast and burrata and confit tomatoes will keep the night moving alongside the strong list of cocktails. But there are heartier dishes that diners might linger longer for, like the bucatini all’Amatriciana and mushroom risotto.
When it opened Tuesday, October 21
Where it is: 2175 NW Raleigh Street, Suite 105
