Three new restaurants opened in February.

Pane e Vino Wine Bar & Trattoria

February 11th

You might not know Joseph Lo Presti, but it’s likely you know his food. Joseph is the founder of both Piccola Italy and Maldini’s. His latest venture, Pane e Vino Wine Bar & Trattoria, located at 2617 West Broad Street, is now open to give locals another wine and Mediterranean option. The lunch menu leans heavily on appetizers but also offers, tapas, sandwiches, and pizza; the dinner menu gives you pasta, land, and sea options.

Sugar Shack

February 20th

Most Richmonders already know the beauty that is a Sugar Shack doughnut. Now folks downtown can enjoy a bit of that doughnuty goodness, all within walking distance, at Sugar Shack Coffee (1110 B East Main Street). It took the shop less then 60 days to go from lease to selling doughnuts–which might be a record for local businesses. They’ve also added fresh, in house juices, fruit cups, and yogurt parfait.
