An Italian restaurant will become the fifth eatery planning to call the new Brownwood Paddock Square Mall home.
Orlando-based Micholi Inc. will be opening Ricciardi’s Italian Table and Wine Bar later this year. The full-service restaurant will pay partial homage to the historic Michigan eatery, Ricciardi’s Italian Restaurant, and its backers allowed social media fans to pick the name. Micholi executives had narrowed the choices to two: Ricciardi’s Italian Table and Wine Bar and Ricciardi’s Wine Bar and Tra ttoria, before turning the final vote over to Facebook and Twitter fans.
“What better way to get the community excited about our opening than including them in such an important decision,” said Joe Liguori, president of Micholi Inc. and owner of Pizzeria Valdiano in Orlando. “We are thrilled to incorporate the Ricciardi name into the new restaurant.”
The City Fire American Oven and Bar was the first restaurant to open in Brownwood and soon will be joined by Five Guy’s Hamburgers, World of Beer and Gator’s Dockside. According to The Villages Gourmet Club, a Too Jays Original Gourmet Deli might be headed to Brownwood, too, making six eateries total.
