Prime 1024, a major steakhouse that also will serve Italian fare, is slated to open on Saturday in Roslyn. The opulent establishment takes over the former site of Barto on Northern Boulevard, Nassau's main artery for devotees of red meat. "We will be open every day for dinner," said owner Christos Spyropoulos, who also is a partner in Limani in Roslyn and Oniro Taverna in Woodbury, which specialize in seafood and Greek cuisine.

Prime 1024 combines two of Spyropoulos'  "favorite cuisines," steak and Italian. They also mirror favored choices across Long Island. In recent months, two restaurants also have paired them: Puglia's Italian Steakhouse in Seaford and Viaggio Italian Chop House in Rockville Centre.
