Weekly finds much to like about Kitchen 64

Kitchen 64 is a departure in a way, spreading the Giavos empire beyond the Fan. “Years ago, when Johnny and I started having kids, we started looking for a bigger home,” she recalls. “All our friends with kids were moving to Northside.” Katrina fell in love with the area. But with three restaurants in the Fan, moving miles outside it didn’t make sense. Although they never moved from their Fan home, Northside remained appealing.

They approached the venture with some trepidation. “We thought no one would come here,” says Katrina, who spends her time managing Kitchen 64 while Johnny is perpetually making rounds at all the others.

They couldn’t have been more wrong. Katrina has found that the location is accessible to many more areas. Sitting at the crossroads of Westwood Avenue and Robin Hood Road, right where the Boulevard becomes Hermitage Road, Kitchen 64 has cultivated loyal customers from all over the metro area. More importantly, 64 has quickly become a highlight for its neighbors. “We really feel like part of this community,” says Katrina.
