A new Italian restaurant has had so much success that its owner is already planning a second location. Gr8 Plate Hospitality, the local company behind The Union Kitchen and Jax Grill, will bring its recently opened Italian concept Passerella to Washington Avenue this fall.

The new Passerella will be located in the former Union Kitchen space at 6011 Washington Ave. Gr8 Plate expects the new restaurant to open in September. “We saw an opportunity and we took it,” Gr8 Plate owner Paul Miller said in a statement.
