Any minute now, Tabella, Robert St. John’s new casual Italian venture, will be feeding us what I can only imagine will be great meals. According to the facebook page, they will not make an announcement of the opening, but will instead just open the doors for lunch one day soon.

1) It’s not a Mexican or Japanese place. Lots of love for both cuisines, but we really need a great Italian place here.

2) Its central location. With apologies to my western friends, I’m always glad to see development on this side of I-59.

3) Seeing the work in progress. You can check out the Tabella facebook page for updates, but also take a look at the archive of posts showing the progress of the restaurant from the ground (or strip mall) up.

If you happen to be driving by and see the doors open, drop us a line and let us all know.
