Details were promised last week about a new downtown Italian restaurant currently making plans to open in the former Julian's location, 216 N. Main, just south of the Santa Fe tracks.

Another group had announced reopening but ran into problems, enabling the new leaseholders, Tony and Arda Demaj, to launch their plans and move to Hutchinson. Tony said the family has 20 years of restaurant experience, including Italian eateries in Oxford, Mississippi, and Medicine, Alabama.
