Crazy Steak coming to former Tutto Italiano spot in Lakeville

A new sign outside a familiar Route 44 storefront in Lakeville has raised a couple of questions. What's opening there, and what exactly is it called? A commenter in a private Facebook group recently reported seeing a sign for Simply Steak at the former Tutto Italiano location in Lakeville Business Center, wondering whether a restaurant or butcher shop was moving in. But a photograph taken for The Enterprise on Tuesday, Nov. 3, revealed something else. The sign actually reads Crazy Steak, with the tagline "Seriously Fresh." And as it turns out, the man behind the business has a different take on how steak should be served. Tim Malinosky, a longtime restaurant operator who also runs the wedding venue Loon Pond Lodge in Lakeville, is preparing to open the new eatery at 12 Harding St. What businesses previously occupied the space? The storefront has seen several businesses come and go, including Tutto Italiano, the Italian deli and specialty food shop longtime residents may remember. In March 1996, The Standard-Times reported that Lakeville resident Paul Grasso was preparing to open the deli at the former Jamesway Plaza on Route 44. Grasso had spent more than a year learning the business from Angelo
