A look at Follia, opening soon in the former Mumbles space on 3rd Avenue



And just a little north from our usual coverage area... an EVG reader sends along these exterior photos of Follia, the Italian wine bar and pizzeria opening this summer on Third Avenue and 17th Street...



La Follia had been operating at the corner of of Third Avenue and 19th Street. Per Town & Village earlier this year: "The new location will be an upgrade for the Italian restaurant, since it will make it possible to expand the menu and offer things like pizza."

The owners are also behind Carroll Place on Bleecker Street and Anisette on Third Avenue.

Mumbles closed here at the end of January after 22 years. Owner David Feldman cited a variety of reasons for closing Mumbles, including a continued decline in business the past few years.

    Anisette used to be called La Follia.

    Yes, I'm expecting the menu prices to be double to that of Mumbles.

    I've eaten at La Follia at Third and 19th many times -- nice quiet place for an early-evening glass of wine (reasonably priced!) and a snack.
