Due Fratelli, located at 76-23 37th Ave., was closed on Feb. 25 after receiving numerous violations from the Health Department.

According to records, the Health Department found evidence of mice in the establishment and food not properly protected from contamination.

The restaurant also received violations for hot and cold food items not kept at the correct temperatures, a missing Food Protection Certificate and improper cleaning of a food contact surface.

The restaurant also received less serious violations such as the facility not being vermin proof and having improper thawing procedures.

The restaurant reopened on Monday, according to a store employee.

Its menu includes a wide variety of pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, salads, gyros, wings, veal and steaks.

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
