Oh boy an Italian Cuban Country Club. Now that's different.

Get the POPCORN ready !!

I'm really hopeful about Havana. The singing waiters are a good touch. The rumor I heard was that new owners were coming from Orlando, ran a similar venue there and the cook of Luigiano's was coming to Havana.

They will change the name. It won't be called Havana.

It's true. Luigino's is taking it over. The employees of Luigino's in Spanish Springs are discussing who is going to work where. It should happen shortly after Christmas and the name will be changed to Hemingway at Havana.

Their restaurant in Spanish Springs always seems empty, how will that change at Havana?

I'm not a fan of Luiginos. Ate there once with a group of friends. Not good food at all.

I agree, Bonny. Never was impressed with them. Hope they do better with this place. Strange that they are changing the name??? Any thoughts on this?

Agree it wasn't my favorite either, liked the outside bar though. Maybe they'll have a different style menu. Will give them a try when they open though as it's so close it would be nice. Time will tell.

I would think it's a good business decision so everyone knows it's new owners not just a new manager.

Seems like a questionable business decision to take a troubled restaurant and turn it over to the owner of another troubled dining establishment.

billethkid 12-08-2013 02:43 PM

That news is disappointing.
I have never experienced mediocrity bearing anything other than mediocrity.
Or would that be considered a step up in this case?

Yes, now that's a bad decision !!

I hear they will also rename the golf courses to Antipasto at Kilimanjaro, Marinara at Kenya and Lasagna at Hemingway.

I hear the parking lot will have a space marked "RESERVED - HEALTH INSPECTOR"

I wish I had taken a picture of Luigino's stuffed pork chop that a friend ordered there a while back......if our meal was any indication of their future, "I'm Out"!
