Marble Falls-based Italian restaurant chain Bella Sera will open a location this month in New Braunfels, its fifth in the Texas Hill Country, news site Community Impact reports. A recently submitted permit application shows Bella Sera plans to take over the space at 259 Loop 337 that previously housed TJ's Burgers. The burger shop closed its doors last July.

Founded in 2003, Bella Sera operates locations in Marble Falls, Fredericksburg, Boerne and Kerrville, owner Drin Kurtaj told the Community Impact. Like other restaurants in the chain, the New Braunfels location will focus on Italian standbys such as pasta, pizza, soups and salads.
