Restaurateur Patrick Corsi of Quattro has announced his new project. He’s taken over the Smoking Dog Bistro space (1889 West 1st Avenue) and will launch Baccano Osteria-Bar this July. Quattro Kitsilano opened in 1994, underwent a location change and rebranding to Q4, and closed in 2014. The North Van and Whistler locations are still going strong.
A complete overhaul is currently underway and the osteria will bear no resemblance in concept or design to Corsi’s former restaurants. Keep tabs on Twitter @baccanolife.
