Huntsville is seeing a wave of new business openings, including a pink-themed cafe, the first Alabama location of outdoor retailer L.L. Bean, a French-inspired flower shop, and more. However, the long-standing Italian restaurant Tellini's Italiano has officially closed after nearly 30 years of serving the community.
