Restaurateur Billy Grise, whose great-grandfather founded the iconic Caserta's Italian eatery in Piqua, Ohio, is set to honor his family's legacy with his new venture, Carmelo's. The restaurant, named after his great-grandfather, will offer family-style Italian dishes and an extensive wine selection imported from Italy. Located in a former office building in Covington, the restaurant is the culmination of a long-held dream for Grise and his business partner Mitch Arens. The duo envisioned opening their own restaurant, and Carmelo's is the realization of that dream. The restaurant's menu will include traditional Italian dishes like lasagna, spaghetti, and meatballs, as well as a wide range of imported Italian wines. The location, a former office space, required extensive renovations to transform it into a restaurant, including installing new kitchen equipment, polished concrete and tile flooring, and cabinetry. https://lnkd.in/gw5u8Cex
