Alma Cocina to open Downtown.
Fifth Group is opening their sixth restaurant.
The Atlanta-based restaurant group announced in February it would open a Tex-Mex concept in the now shuttered II Mulino Italian restaurant space.
Today, Fifth Group has announced the restaurant’s name.
Called Alma Cocina, which stands for “soul kitchen,” Fifth Group’s Tex-Mex restaurant will open at One Ninety One Peachtree tower downtown this November, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
II Mulino Restaurant first opened Dec. 2008 and closed Nov. 2010 and is expected to open elsewhere, according to their website.
Serving up authentic Tex-Mex and Mexican-inspired dishes for lunch and dinner, Fifth Group will also provide catering services to the Downtown area through their established catering company, Bold American.
Taking a 5,200-square-foot space with seating for 195, the space will have two bar areas with booths and tables extending into the office building’s atrium.
Ai3 and Bill Peace of Peace have teamed up to oversee the design.
This will be the sixth Atlanta-area restaurant for Fifth Group Restaurants, the Atlanta based restaurant group who’s portfolio includes South City Kitchen (Midtown and Vinings), La Tavola, Ecco, and El Taco.
