Two Central New York restaurateurs are teaming up for a new Italian restaurant with zany, “craveable” dishes. Rise N Shine Diner owner Danielle Mecuri and Adam Weitsman, owner of The Krebs and the Elephant and the Dove restaurants in Skaneateles, announced Thursday that they’re partnering on a new venture located in the former Grimaldi’s Ristorante near Carrier Circle, located at 6430 Yorktown Circle in East Syracuse. The 4,000 square-foot space will feature a new “state-of-the-art” outdoor dining area.
The new restaurant’s name has not been revealed yet, but Mecuri and Weitsman promise the menu will put a fun, Rise N Shine-inspired twist on items that will be both delectable and photo-ready for Instagram. “We will be creating craveable, premium Italian dishes that are fun, tasteful and definitely social media worthy,” Mecuri said in a statement.
