Modern-Italian restaurant to open in Midtown, late 2012.
Midtowners are getting another Italian dining option.
Jamestown, an Atlanta-based real estate investment and management firm, announced Tuesday the signing of modern-Italian restaurant La Tagliatella’s lease at “Shops at Metropolis.”
The Italian restaurant will replace the now-shuttered Silk restaurant on the corner of Peachtree and 8th Streets.
“Jamestown is focused on attracting a distinguished blend of dining concepts and retailers in order to cultivate a unique and progressive atmosphere, particularly at the street level,” Kristen Morris, senior leasing manager for Jamestown, said in the release.
“La Tagliatella will certainly enhance the experience at Shops at Metropolis by opening its U.S. flagship location here.”
La Tagliatella first opened in Madrid, Spain, in 2001 and has grown to more than 110 restaurants throughout Spain and France.
The 5,200-square-foot restaurant will serve modern-Italian cuisine and offer a wine and coffee gar. Its kitchen will house an authentic brick oven.
“We feel Shops at Metropolis is the perfect location for La Tagliatella’s flagship store,” Mike Muldoon, president, U.S. Division of AmRest LLC, owner of La Tagliatella, said in the release. “It is centrally located in Midtown, within a walkable community that thrives on diverse restaurant concepts.”
La Tagliatella is expected to open late 2012, according to the release. David Henzlik with Trinity Development Group, Inc. represented La Tagliatella in the transaction.
