When Peppino’s closed on Dec. 23, 2009, rumors circulated that its successor would open in early 2010. As I walked by the building over the past few months, I’ve noticed the interior remodeling has been extensive, which may be the reason for the delay in opening.
Today is the day for the Italian restaurant Nostrano, which opens at 5 p.m. for its inaugural dinner (following a recent trial dinner for friends and family).
“Nostrano’s location will be perfect for those seeking a unique spot to enjoy meticulously prepared food and beverages,” Chef and Co-owner Elizabeth Dahl said in a statement. “Our dishes will respect the ‘old-school’ style of cooking with a contemporary flair.”
Dinner will be served Monday through Saturday. The owners note that “Nostrano’s wine list will features selections from small producers throughout the Mediterranean region, and its unique cocktail list will highlight classic cocktails from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.”
Photos to come.
