All-you-can-eat sushi restaurant to open in place of shuttered Rocco’s Calamari
An all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant will open in place of a South Brooklyn staple that shuttered over the summer.
An Asian restaurant named Rakuzen is in the works for the now-vacant property at 6408 Fort Hamilton Parkway, according to a new red sign that decorates the building. The space, located on the border of Boro Park and Dyker Heights, was home to Rocco’s Calamari — a family-owned and well-respected Italian eatery — for more than three fruitful decades.
In early August, Rocco and Lucy Bruno, owners of Rocco’s Calamari, announced their retirement — and the ultimate closure of the famed and iconic restaurant — after 35 years of dedicated service.
