A few weeks ago we told our online readers about a soon-to-open restaurant on Main Street, near Artspace and the constantly expanding medical corridor. The restaurateur had contacted Buffalo Rising to ask if our readers might help him name his new venture. We ran a contest online with a prize of a $100 gift certificate to the new restaurant, and received over 100 suggestions. We then announced the owner’s top ten choices–they appear below next to the handles of their creators.
Ciao Main queenseyes
Tre Otto GoldenLark
Fiore tdimatteo
Fresco scandyjj
Midtown Trattoria WIGS
Piazza fredrico
Nuovo (from Nuovo Impresa Italiana) STU
Sugo MRodgers
Fiume Bello UrbanBody
Cibo (from La Gioia di Cibo) Gioia
We are happy to announce that YUM reader GoldenLark’s “tre otto” ( meaning three eights in Italian) is the winner, I guess she did a little investigating and ferreted out the restaurant’s street address. Kudos to her!
The moniker already graces the menus and business cards of the soon-to-open establishment, in a funky, chic format designed by artist Tamara Bdour, who will run a graphic design studio from the office space located above the restaurant.
