A longtime Italian restaurant that closed here about a year ago will soon reopen with a new owner and a new menu. Grazies Italian Restaurant and Grill is now owned by George Plaku, who now lives in Fargo and said he's the former owner and operator of several restaurants in Nebraska as well as an eatery in Kansas.
He's now securing permits and applying for a liquor license to reopen Grazies, which had been known as Grazies Italian Grill and was previously owned by Lexstar founder Robert Leslie. If all goes well, Plaku said the restaurant could be back up and running within a month in south Fargo's Mulitband Tower, 2000 44th St. S.
