Michelangelo, the East End Italian mini-chain, has added a new Riverhead link. The new restaurant-pizzeria, which opened this summer, shares partial ownership with the existing Michelangelo locations in Mattituck, Southold and Eastport.
The eatery takes over the Midcentury-modern structure that was originally a Chase Bank. In 2011 Dennis McDermott lovingly transformed it into The Riverhead Project, which closed in 2014 and was succeeded, for a year, by Sonoma Grill. The owners of Michelangelo have rectified some of the most egregious crimes against architecture committed by the former tenant.
