Hopeland Looks to an Italian Homeland February 17, 2012, 12:46 pm Pietro Costa, an artist, and Roy Marino, a chef and restaurateur, share the heritage of the Cilento in Southern Italy, an area south of Naples, around Salerno. And their new restaurant, Hopeland, which opens next Friday in Brooklyn, reflects their ties to the region, with dishes like oven-roasted sardines, braised rabbit, cavatelli with cannellini beans, rigatoni with tomatoes, grilled pork T-bone with pickled cherry peppers and eggplant with anchovies. Hopeland, 320 Atlantic Avenue (Smith Street), Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, (718) 467-3526. Hopeland menu
