Just noticed a new italian restaurant, Orioli's, going in at the old Stonegate spot. Seems there is one located further down 1960 near Jones Road. Anyone know anything about them? Would love to see something in this spot succeed.
Orioli's will be run by members of the same family (the Orioli family) that runs Via Emilia, an Italian restaurant down the street (1960 and Falling Creek). Via Emilia is run by the dad, and Orioli's is going to be run by the son and daughter-in-law, both former waitstaff at Via Emilia. My understanding is that whereas Via Emilia is an authentic Italian restaurant, Orioli's will me more of an "Italian steakhouse". I know they said they didn't want to do pure Italian food since Carrabba's is next door.
If the food is anything like Via Emilia (and I'm sure that it will), Orioli's should be absolutely outstanding.
