Southern Village will become home to a new restaurant this spring.

After Pazzo Trattoria and Pizzeria closed this past December, it was bought out by the owners of La Vita Dolce cafe – also located in Southern Village.

Now, the owners have announced that their new sister restaurant and bar, Market and Moss, will open in Pazzo’s former spot.

Market and Moss’s new website says they serve “bright, flavorful new American cuisine made with fresh local ingredients. Our menu is approachable, but each item also has unique flair that makes it anything but ordinary.”

La Vita Dolce cafe is sharing the news of their new sister business on Instagram and Facebook in lead up to the grand opening.

The restaurant is expected to open in April.
