A new Italian restaurant — DeLuca — opens Tuesday, April 30 in the former Porta Via restaurant space off White Bridge Road, the latest of several Italian fine-dining spots to open in Nashville in the past five years.
Managers at DeLuca — so named for its Italian chef, Rosario DeLuca — said their restaurant will stand out for authenticity because it's the city's only spot where native Italians serve as chef and general manager. The GM is Angelo Ferrante, who ran highly-regarded Yolan in the downtown Joseph hotel and opened Kayne Prime steakhouse.
