Zolia to open next month

Downtown’s newest gourmet eatery is expected to open in December. Zolia Bistro, an Italian bistro and wine bar serving breakfast, lunch and tapas, as well as light fare in the evening, faces the courtyard between City Plaza I and II at Convention and N. Fourth streets. Zolia also will be home to a specialty grocery area with products such as Reggiano Parmesan, olive oils and balsamic glazes from Italy. The bistro will deliver to both City Plaza towers and eventually expand the service. The entire menu will be prepared from scratch and will include some popular mainstays introduced by DeAngelo’s. Co-owners Louis DeAngelo and Mike Wampold plan to open in mid-December, but will start promoting gift cards and gift baskets sooner. 400 Convention St., Suite 111, facebook.com/zoliabistro.
