Now the prime location at 5560 N. Military Trail will be turned into Prezzo, an Italian concept that’s both new — and old. Prezzo was the name of a prior Boca Raton restaurant operated by the same restaurateur, Burt Rapoport.
Burt Rapoport’s Rappy’s failed to catch on with area diners who wanted old-style cooking, not nouveau cuisine. Goodbye, pastrami. Hello, pasta. Rappy’s Deli closed in May after just five months at the new Park Placeshopping center in Boca Raton. The space subsequently reopened as a lower-priced deli, Park Place Deli.
