"After 10 years in Uptown, this sophisticated restaurant that pays homage to chef Nick Lama’s Sicilian roots will close on December 23. Named for the Italian word for grandfather, it offered a refined, elegant experience that honored traditional Italian cuisine rather than the Creole-influenced Italian fare found at places like Irene’s and Pascal’s Manale, and Lama expressed “deep gratitude” for everyone who supported it along the way." - Beth D’Addono
