Former Roma Cafe reopening as Amore da Roma this weekend in Detroit's Eastern Market

DETROIT – A former Italian restaurant is opening as a new Italian restaurant this weekend in Detroit.

Roma Cafe closed earlier this year after decades in Eastern Market, but the Italian eatery will reopen this weekend with a refreshed look and a new name.

Amore da Roma will open its doors on Saturday, December 16, 2017. It's located at 3401 Riopelle, right off of Russel Street in Detroit's Historic Eastern Market.

The restaurant itself will serve much of the same food with a refreshed approach and a new wine menu.

Roma Cafe announced it would close back in July. It had been open since 1890 and claimed to be the oldest Italian spot in Detroit.

Chef Guy Pelino is leading the kitchen. Reservations will be accepted starting this weekend.
