There’s mozzareally good news for cheese lovers: A specialty mozzarella store and restaurant is opening in the Gold Coast. The Mozzarella Store will open July 5 at 822 N. Michigan Ave. with fresh and aged Italian cheeses created in the traditional Italian way, according to a news release. Besides cheese, it’ll serve up pizza, coffee, snacks and other Italian specialties. Its dog-friendly patio will have seating for up to 42 people.

Customers will also be able to stop by to watch professional cheesemaker Armando Vanacore — who is from Campania, Italy, and has 10 years of experience — make cheese from behind a glass wall along Pearson Street. The cheese menu will include fior di latte mozzarella; burrata stuffed with pistachio cream, walnuts and black truffle; and sfoglia, or sheets of mozzarella filled with ingredients like vegetables and salumi.
