Saluti! Mulino is Back!
This is more of a PSA to let you know Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar is back open just in time for Mother’s Day! They were briefly closed this spring to complete repairs to a portion of their restaurant due to an electrical fire. While they were shuttered, they took some time to refresh their space (including doing some spring planting in the garden!) and further educate and train their staff. Treat yourself this weekend!
“Raleigh owns the Rialto like Raleigh owns Char-Grill”
Grab the popcorn for this good news! In case you have not heard, the Rialto will be raising the curtain again under new ownership. Raleigh Magazine has the full scoop but to sum it up, the new owners are part of Five Points Entertainment LLC—a group of community members who came together to save the theater, led by Raleigh native sports radio producer and host Hayes Permar. Slated to resume events this summer, the revived Rialto, beyond showing flicks, naturally, will also bring live music back to the theater—think, for one, a jazz or bluegrass series—with an upgraded sound system.
