Renovations Underway At The Boulevard

Renovations have begun at Rome Boulevard on the site purchased by Eddie Hasko last month. Aiming to build on the success of his Armuchee restaurant, Bella Roma, the new concept will take a grill approach and include American bar food alongside his authentic Italian menu.

“We’ve had great after four years in the original location,” Hasko said,  “and I’m excited about trying some new things to appeal to a baseball-loving crowd.” Bella Rome Grill is set to be open in late November or early December with a look that will be a drastic change from the current facade.

The renovation will bring stone patios and tuscan-style stucco to the now vinyl building. When asked about the renovation plans. Hasko is confident that the community will love the changes. “it will be beautiful. We Italians know beautiful.”

Bella Roma Grill is sure to be fitting complement to the Boulevard’s Boardwalk series to be built between Veterans Memorial Parkway and Braves Boulevard. Be sure to watch as renovations unfold over the next three months.
