Owner Eric Lomando of the popular St. James restaurants and is set to open his third restaurant, this time in Miller Place.
According to Liz McCutcheon of Kitchen A Bistro, the owner of the two restaurants is set to open Orto, an eatery that will serve rustic Italian cuisine. The restaurant will be located at 90 North Country Road.
McCutcheon said the restaurant will only serve dinner and while Orto will have a wine list, customers will be allowed to bring their own wine to accompany their meal.
McCutcheon said Lomando is looking to open Orto before Christmas.
Kitchen A Bistro is known locally for it's top-rated French cuisine and a menu that changes often. At one point it was the highest ranked restaurant on Long Island by Zagat's guides. Kitchen A Trattoria offers the same format, but focusing on rustic Italian.
I am very excited !
Welcome to your new home! We can walk to the new Orto! Keep the corking fee low (we have never gone back to Blonde since 2004 where the corking fee was higher then the wine per bottle cost? Higher then restaurants in Napa?). Will fish around for a FB site, you should snag www.facebook/Orto so we can start liking it! See you over there, lots of activity even over the weekend! Congratulations and welcome!
Happy this change didn't happen to us right before our wedding & cause any problems!!!
