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.
