Fenice Creolo, Finally, Opening for Dinner on Thursday

The eagerly-anticipated Italian/Creole fusion restaurant replaced The Epicurean in October.

Fenice Creolo is finally, fully, here.

Lamarra, who co-owns Creolo along Tom Mastronardo, 37, said the restaurant will boast a unique menu—though it’s a work in progress, look out for the blackened catfish and crab cakes—and appeal to a broad clientele. “We want to please everybody.
