Judd Grisanti will open an East Memphis location of Ronnie Grisanti's Italian Restaurant within the next couple of months, taking over the spot at Regalia where Heritage Tavern and Kitchen closed Wednesday. "We're going to keep the one in Collierville too," Grisanti said. "I still have a lease there." 

The spot at 6150 Poplar was for years Mikasa Japanese Restaurant. When it closed, John Bragg renovated the space and open a restaurant there, followed by Ryan Trimm's Southward, then Mike Miller's Heritage Tavern in 2015. Miller also owns Patrick's; it is not affected. "Judd and his group came in and made us an offer that was so handsome I didn't want to turn it down," Miller said. "You take opportunities when they come up."
