The amicable parting of the Honaker brothers give Jim enough of a stake to negotiate a real estate deal with the guidance of Steve Corning, area real estate developer and fan of good food with European touches. A couple years ago, Corning and his wife, Jennifer, looked up the Zirotties at the Hotel Magestic on the French Riviera and asked if they would consider a return to Billings. Corning visited with Honaker, who owns the new enterprise and is in charge of the kitchen and food service. Zirotti will manage the restaurant. Corning will look on and eat there frequently, with the pride of a doting uncle at the christening.

Where before they offered such delicacies as sea urchines and tripe, they will now serve calamari and leek rings, homemade ravioli and crispy sea bass, albeit with pomegranate glaze. Enzo will offer a mix of Mediterranean classics, wood-fired offerings, pasta, soups, salads, and shared plates.
