Scalino, a well-regarded Italian eatery on Seventh Avenue and 10th Street, was seized by the New York State Department of Taxation  According to Park Slope Patch, they received four separate warrants for unpaid taxes.

The largest of the warrants is for $112,840 and it dates back to 2008, a year after the restaurant opened. No wonder the prices were so good. They weren’t paying taxes!

The owner told Patch and locals that he’s just sorting things out with New York State. Apparently, he reopened the restaurant last night. If he can’t pay the taxes they can seize the restaurant’s chairs, tables, kitchen equipment and other property.

Better get a payment plan, Scalino. New York  State is very nasty. The Feds are warm and fuzzy compared to them. They can lien all over you and it isn’t pretty.
