What happened after Man v. Food?
The episode featured Ciao Baby, an Italian restaurant on Long Island known at the time for its oversized rice ball, among other Italian dishes, at its Massapequa Park location on Sunrise Highway. LongIsland.com reported on 2021-03-05 that Ciao Baby had closed and, after nearly a year, reopened at the same address as Bar Grazie, an Italian gastrobar with Mexican-inflected touches, still run by the same cousins, Lenny Oliva and Frank Cammarata, following a full interior renovation. According to LongIsland.com, the relaunched space took on a modern rustic-industrial look with metal, reclaimed wood, and a white-and-gray color scheme, and the original rice ball did not carry over to the new menu. Bar Grazie's own website, checked on 2026-09-08, listed current hours, an online-ordering system, and an active dinner promotion, indicating the business remained open under its new name.
