A new Italian restaurant will fill the spot that used to occupy Roberto's on West Federal Street in downtown Youngstown.

The eatery will have a new name, Prima Cucina Italiana.

Owner Josh Santangelo says the food will be regional Italian with an emphasis on the cooking of Rome.

The business is expected to open in the next three to four weeks.

The new restaurant is currently hiring employees, and those interested can go to PrimaYoungstown.com
