REVEALED: Fabio Viviani To Open Firenze Osteria in NoHo

After this morning's TMZ article portraying a fall out and lawsuit between Fabio Viviani and Cafe Firenze, it's no surprise to hear that the Top Cheffer has had his sights set on a new project, Firenze Osteria on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood. Here's the deal. Fabio has taken over Barsac Brasserie and together with its original owner Lisa Long and Fabio's partner, mixologist Jacopo Falleni (pictured right), the trio plans to reopen Barsac Brasserie as Firenze Osteria on October 24. The space will undergo major interior renovations including the addition of a private party room on the second floor. The website is up, and states that reservations are currently being accepted. The site also invites the public to attend the grand opening party on the Oct 24 from 4:30-7:30p which will include complimentary vino and apps. [EaterWire]
