Now, he's ready to share all he's learned with his fellow Hudson Valley residents.

"The entire point of re-opening a handmade pasta shop is to show a community, town, city, world, whatever… that doing one thing great, and providing a service that enriches the lives of the people that utilize said service, is how we are going to get back to a place where people are friendly and there is a community," Bivona told Hudson Valley Post.

Bivona's Simply Pasta is set to open next month on Liberty Street in the City of Newburgh.

"First off, Newburgh is fantastic," Bivona added. "I had some friends from 'back in the day' that now own and operate businesses in the City of Newburgh and I always was enamored with Newburgh. My dad's father had a business there, and my mom's mom had one. I know that it was completely run by local, small businesses and I love that."

Bivona's Simply Pasta was actually originally opened by his parents in 1989. It was located on Route 52 in the Town of Newburgh near Pat Tarsio Lanes. It closed down in 1991, but now Chuck is bringing it back.

"Simply, pasta. Hand rolled pasta deli & more," Bivona Simply Pasta states on its Instagram page.
