More details are coming in about the planned Osteria Drago, an Italian eatery with a Naples-style wood burning pizza oven and family-style dining, by Celestino Drago who brought you Drago Centro in L.A.
The target date is vague, sometime around spring, but it will be will be located adjacent to Nordstrom, which apparently is debuting at the same time.
One thing is certain, Osteria Drago will be moderately big, occupying more than 3,700 square feet, not including patio dining. This ain't no pizza parlor.
