ScottiBelli’s, the well-known Italian restaurant in downtown Kalispell, is moving down the street to the former site of Genki restaurant. The move was spurred by uncertainty surrounding the future of his old building, as the owner recently sold it, ScottiBelli’s owner Renato ScottiBelli said. He purchased the new building at 302 S. Main St. in mid-November. The real estate website Zillow estimates the cost at about $420,000.

The move won’t herald big changes to the beloved local eatery, but does signify a commitment to being in Kalispell for the long-term future and that it will be a part of what city legislators hope will be a rejuvenated downtown in the years to come as the old railroad tracks are removed and planning decisions guided by the recently passed downtown plan begin to bring in change.
