A new family-owned Italian restaurant specializing in freshly made pastas will soon open in the South Main area. Called Bocca Osteria Romana, it will open this summer at 411 S. Main St. #104 in the space last occupied by Rancho Loma Vineyards.

The restaurant will be the first stateside concept from a trio of Texas-born family members - brothers Alfonso and Alessandro Salvatore and their cousin Eduardo Mariel. The Salvatore brothers own three restaurants in San Juan, Puerto Rico: two locations of a Mexican restaurant called Acapulco Taaqueria Mexicana and the original location of Bocca Osterie Romana.
