Eater Atlanta reports that "The people behind Taverna Fiorentina are opening a second Italian trattoria this year. MezzaLuna Ristorante will start serving in September under the direction of co-owners Paolo Tondo, the chef, and Reyes Scott, the sommelier."

My guess is that this is the replacement for the closed Boca Mexican restaurant.

Looks like they opened yesterday

We have a new restaurant collaboration alive and well in Snellville.  The capable hands of Local Republic will be involved in a renovation NEW restaurant in the Villages in Lawrenceville/East Snellville.  Moving into the old "Gary's Bistro" will be a new restaurant (HUGE renovation), opening in late May.

Chef Scott Smith will be the navigator, you remember him from Local Republic, he will be heading up both restaurants I hear.

From the chaps who brought you C & S Seafood & Oyster Bar comes Hugo's Oyster Bar in Roswell. It will be at that interesting location on Highway 9 near where the Chicken Man blew up his house. I guess with the success of Coldbrew's raw bar, they wanted to jump on the bandwagon. But the big question is, will the waitrons look as fine as Coldbrew's? The bar has been set high.

Smokie Paris and Mimmo may have to bring down the prices at CB's.

Jeni's Ice Cream is going in Westside Provisions area.  I'm very excited because I've been making ice-cream from her cookbook and the recipes are not only original but also fantastic tasting.  I always get rave reviews with her Salty Caramel...

Four new places going into the Sweet Apple area of Roswell.  Sushi, pizza, Etris Kitchen and a place called Peach and Porkchop (or some thing like that).

One is Marco's Pizza, but the other three appear to be indies. Peach & the Pork Chop has a Facebook page, but gives very little in terms of details. I have my people working on it.

I'm not one of your people but I've heard through the grapevine that former chef at Milton's (Boyd Rose) is involved with Peach and the Pork Chop.  We live in the same neighborhood and we really enjoyed his menu at Milton's so I hope that's the case.  One of the best pork chops I've ever had was at Milton's

Makes 100 percent sense. The FB page does say along the lines of family friendly farm to table. Milton's was known for growing most of the veggies in the on-premises garden, so sounds like Rose will bloom a similar concept.

I thought Boyd Rose recently accepted a gig at Sip Wine and Tapas? What gives?

GG>-  Here is something I snipped from FB,   We are going to have a new brewpub near Emory....

It's official, I am opening a new brewpub! Slice & Pint We'll be making hand crafted pizza and hand crafted beers. We ordered the brewing equipment yesterday and picked up the keys to the place. It's over in Emory Village. Lots of hard work ahead - lots of fun too. Stay tuned.

.....

Slice & Pint is open. It has been a quiet one so far and no license for alcohol yet. However, they say for now you can brown bag it.

They have snaps of the entire menu here:

And they'll do any "build-your own pizza" with gluten-free crust.

Oh, the "Southern Pie" sounds delish with fried green tomatoes, sorghum pork belly bits, and pimento cheese.

Wife reports a new taqueria opening near Stax. I know the Stax owners were planning on opening an upscale Mexican in the old Wolf Camera. I wonder if after long delay it’s that or another “authentic” choice along Roswell’s grossly underrated Taco and Tamale Trail. Pale skins seem to be willing to try the gringo friendly Tacos Linda Vista and Mr. Taco, but there as so many other options that only Milt and I will mingle among the authentic clientele.

That being said, the "upscale" Mexican probably would do a better job of filling a void.

One of these days, I'm going to eat my way along your Taco and Tamale trail. Everything you post about there sounds divine.

Ah okay. Thanks for the hot tip. Looks like reviews for the Decatur original have been lukewarm.

Rumors are rampant that Milt is also a fan of Elaina's.
