Crowds once again gathered at the popular Sons of Italy dining hall that burned down in an accidental fire more than three years ago. The reopening of the popular lunch and dinner spot had been delayed a few times because of a lack of funding and issues with construction. But Thursday, it was spaghetti and meatballs for everyone who walked through the door.

Many people have been waiting for this day, and the cold weather didn't stop them — it didn't take long for the brand new hall to fill up. Diners here have plans to fill up on spaghetti and meatballs, and there was lots of excitement in the room.
