Mazzio's no longer owns Zio's

interesting... didn't know that. apparently "food management partners, inc." is the current owner of the brand. from what i can tell, they also own the don pablo's chain and operate franchise locations of some other brands. -M

edit: they're also the group that bought the furr's fresh buffet brand just this june.

No more pizza, sub, burger or fast food joints. We have an abundance of them. We also have a bunch of second tier restaurants. Let's start bringing in some top notch restaurants/sports bars.

Just curious, I am reasonably sure I have never been in one ... what constitutes a top notch sports bar?

Tilted Kilt, Wes Welkers, ESPN Zone, Bikini's, Texan Station Sports Bar & Grill are the type of sports bar I would like to see.

So basically, take any old chili's type place, add in a lot of television screens and take out a lot of staff attire and you're a happy drinker/watcher?

I couldn't agree more. Every time I see new construction, it's a fast food joint or cell phone store. It's a lost cause any more

Why does it have to be a restaurant? Maybe it could be a mattress store...we don't have enough of them. :-)

Why not both?
Pillowtop mattress dining areas with large screen tv's, piping hot finger foods on toothpicks, wine in spill proof containers and transportation to/from home.

There's been a lot of activity going on at this location all week. Has anyone heard what's going in here? I mean, assuming the whole restaurant/mattress store isn't happening...

Could be a new Walmart! ;)

I seriously hope it turns out to be something unique and good.... Had high hopes for Bent River but never heard anything good about it from day one.

I emailed the City of Moore today and here is the response:
"Occupancy was given to Luigi's Italian restaurant. They are currently going through the inspection process now and if all goes well, can open in a few weeks. We are not sure of the concept other than it's Italian"

Wonder if it's the same Luigi's that is in Ardmore and Gainesville?

If so the food's not bad and reasonably priced but not really what I was hoping for.

Same as the place in Anadarko and Chickasha.

Plans to open October 12th.

Wonder if it's any better than Oliveto?

Not sure when they closed but Luigi's Bistro is no longer open. There is an "available" sign out front.

Luigi's moved down to Newcastle along about Sept. of 2016 I believe it was. Place has been empty since then.

Yep... That sounds like about the right time frame... It's been empty a while.

Man I gotta pay closer attention!

This place is now just overflow parking for BWW.

The owner of it must be really bad at leasing it out.

It’s definitely become one of those restaurant black holes.
