Although there is no definite word on who will buy the Michael's location, Franco Gaccetta , who owns the popular Franco's Ristorante in an upscale suburb of Pittsburgh, was scheduled to take over Lucio's space sometime in mid-September. Franco's will be open for lunch and dinner every day, with indoor and outdoor seating. It will be similar to its other locations with an updated menu. If all works out, the new concept will have a casual, nautical theme, frozen drinks and an upscale seafood menu. Keep an eye out for its scheduled opening August or September 2002.
Plans are still in the works.
Keep your eyes peeled for a new, big Asian-inspired restaurant and nightclub in West Palm Beach. The complex has yet to be given a name, but is expected to open in October 2002.
