Partners Imer Rraci and chef Avni Brahimaj have opened Torcello Ristorante Italiano in the free-standing house that previously housed the long-running La Riserva on Boston Post Road in Larchmont. Torcello, which is named after an island off the northern coast of Venice, espouses the classics of northern Italian cuisine. It is a fine dining experience.

Rraci is a 30-year veteran of the hospitality business, having previously worked at the former Giambelli 50th Ristorante in Manhattan and Valbella in Old Greenwich, Conn. He had operated his own restaurant, Delvina, in New Jersey.
