Sabatiello's from the Ashes
Sabatiello’s, Italian Eatery on Bedford and recent filming location for the Fox reality series “Kitchen Nightmares” has an interesting sign in the window. I didn’t have my camera on me when I ran past but here’s the jist. They are re-opening under new management, with new décor and a new menu. They are also Gordon Ramsay’s favorite Italian Restaurant in Fairfield County. I’m confused, are they his favorite restaurant before filming and if so why did a reality show about turning around crappy restaurants come there then? How can Gordon know Sabatiello’s will be his favorite restaurant after the changes since the re-opening has yet to happen? Did the new management come in before or after the show? Will there still be strange dance parties there at night?
UPDATED: It looks like it has already grand-reopened as an "Italian Steakhouse" New menu is posted outside. Never really checked out the old menu, so can't speak to the differences.

Innnnnnnnnteresting. We'll see if we can get the scoop. Chowhound.com is usually on the ball with that.
I asked the same question of people who do know - It is the same owner, maybe a different manager person, slightly different menu...but not much and mostly because of Gordon Ramsey's prodding. They wanted to do the dual thing (similar to Oceans 211 and Dunn's Loft) of having a different type of dinning upstairs than down with 2 separate names, but were refused ( Dunn's Loft snuck it in with out telling people who administrate such things and were almost closed down because of it) They went with the italian steak house instead of grill cause it is a "newer" concept. that is an inside scoop.
