Finally the space at 4475 Northpark Drive will be occupied again. For years it was Antonio’s Italian Restaurant and briefly Marzio’s Pizzeria & More and even more briefly Broadway Deli. Now it has new owners, new life and new name: La Bella Vita Ristorante Italiano. The opening was planned for Aug. 2.

Meet owners Giuliano Cassuli, who will run the back-of-the-house as executive chef, and Tiziano Cestari, who will step in as general manager. Both are from Italy and owned an Italian restaurant in Arlington, Texas, for 30 years. From the look of the interior, Cassuli and Cestari have brought a touch of class and sophistication to the dining areas. The walls have been painted an inviting soft tan color. The tables are set with black under clothes and topped with a beige cloth. There is a definite upscale feeling to the space.

Hours are 11 a.m.-2 p.m. for lunch Mondays through Fridays; 4-9 p.m. for dinner Mondays through Thursdays; and 4-10 p.m. for dinner Fridays and Saturdays. Call 260-4730.
