The restaurant will serve the same menu as its other locations – small plates, wood-fired pizzas, seafood and other entrées with a Mediterranean flare – with an emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients. (Check out the menu here).
The private dining menu, however, will be entirely customizable for parties, including large portions so people can eat family-style. The private dining room also has its own patio – and open-able front window.
Tazza took over the former Belle Vie space in May 2014, just after the restaurant closed after five years in business, but didn’t begin construction until March.
We’ll keep you posted on the opening.
