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.
