A New York City restauranteur is expanding Nashville's food scene with a new Italian restaurant.
Anthony Scotto is no stranger to New York City’s restaurant community. With over 40 years in the industry under his belt, he’s best known for Fresco by Scotto. However, after all this time, Scotto has been feeling the itch to venture into some new territory.“I was really looking to do a solo project for many years, and I wanted to put my own flare on food and service,” said Scotto. “Luogo is a direct reflection of me and the 40 years I’ve put into the business.
“I’m bringing New York is what I’m doing. The Italian food that’s here is a dish of pasta that they boil and then turn it around and put tomato sauce on top of it. That’s not what I do,” said Scotto. “We incorporate all our foods, we try to make everything taste as properly as we can. I’m bringing my chips here, bringing my pizza here, bringing the menu of coastal fare that people have not seen in Nashville.
“They say the right mix of everything is here, but there’s a great need for Italian food in Nashville,” said Scotto. “We have our meatball that I bring from new york, my pizza that I bring from new york, our potato and zucchini chips with melted gorgonzola cheese — these are all things that people are absolutely loving.”
