Valley Stream restaurant is a fresh take on Southern Italian cuisine

At Pomodorino Rosso, Valley Stream’s chic new trattoria, chef-owner Antonio Bove, pays homage to his native Caserta, a town in Campania that is about 25 miles north of Naples, the region’s capital. On Thursday, Aug. 30, Bove showed off the restaurant’s signature pasta, spaghetti al pomodorino, which is tossed, tableside, in a hollowed-out wheel of Grana Padano so that the pasta and shards of cheese meld with a sauce of cherry tomatoes and garlic.
