La Tagliatella coming to Shops at Metropolis

Another Italian dining option will soon be available in Midtown.

Atlanta-based real estate investment and management firm Jamestown announced Tuesday the signing of modern-Italian restaurant La Tagliatella’s lease at ‘Shops at Metropolis.’

Scheduled to open in late 2012, it will replace the closed Silk restaurant at the corner of Peachtree and 8th streets. The restaurant plans to utilize the prominence of this pin corner space by transcending the customer experience not only from the interior, but to the exterior of the space, as well.

“Jamestown is focused on attracting a distinguished blend of dining concepts and retailers in order to cultivate a unique and progressive atmosphere, particularly at the street level,” said Kristen Morris, senior leasing manager for Jamestown, in a release. “La Tagliatella will certainly enhance the experience at Shops at Metropolis by opening its U.S. flagship location here.”

La Tagliatella first opened in Madrid, Spain, in 2001 and has grown to more than 110 restaurants throughout Spain and France. Upscale, modern-Italian cuisine will be served in a relaxed, yet distinctive atmosphere, which will house an authentic brick oven pizza kitchen, wine and coffee bar in over 5,200 square feet at the Midtown corner space. 

“We feel Shops at Metropolis is the perfect location for La Tagliatella’s flagship store,” stated Mike Muldoon, president, U.S. Division of AmRest LLC, owner of La Tagliatella, in the press release. “It is centrally located in Midtown, within a walkable community that thrives on diverse restaurant concepts.”

David Henzlik with Trinity Development Group, Inc. represented La Tagliatella in the transaction.
