"With Stephen Starr taking over the restaurant and its sister spot, the Italian restaurant that opened in 1998 has closed to prepare for the transition of ownership. An Instagram post reads: "The Italian restaurant will be temporarily closing for renovations as we begin an exciting new chapter." "We’re working hard behind the scenes to bring you an elevated dining experience, with fresh updates and inspired touches — while keeping the heart and soul of [the restaurant] you know and love," the post continues. There is no confirmation yet whether Mark Ladner is on track to take over as chef." - Melissa McCart
