Bistro 980 takes over Nona Mia Cafe space on the corner of 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue.
UPDATE (January 22, 2012):[Rendering] New Italian restaurant opening adjacent to Midtown’s 5 Napkin Burger
Please God, don’t let it be a burger joint.
But then again, maybe that’s what the space needs to see success.
Let’s face it, the space at 980 Piedmont Avenue is Midtown’s restaurant cemetery. Here’s a recap of the casualties:
- Big Red Tomato Bistro. Dead.
- Balance Restaurant. Dead.
- Fishmonger Seafood. Dead.
- Sweet Devil Moon. Dead.
- Nona Mia Cafe. Dead.
Bistro 980, the latest concept to tempt fate at the location, filed a permit with City of Atlanta Tuesday for some demolition to the space. Laura Horton with Creative Loafing first discovered the permit.
At first glance of the word “demo,” we were overjoyed at the though of tent city coming down.
But after further investigation, the only demoing being done is to “interior partitions and awning of exterior” at a cost of $3,500.00, according to the permit. Lets hope the “awning” mentioned is the greenhouse looking patio.
