“My grandparents and their beautiful daughter Rosemary LaScala, my mother, are my inspiration every day. I honor their passion, their integrity, and their drive in all I do,” said Rob LaScala.
While Fire is preparing to open in Newtown, the Christou family, which has owned and operated Ardana Food and Drink in Newtown for the past three and a half years, is preparing to say goodbye.
The family announced in August that it would be selling its space to the New Jersey-based LaScala Restaurant Group.
“After three and a half incredible years, we have made the bittersweet decision to pass the torch at our Newtown location,” the family announced. “We’re pleased to share that we have finalized an agreement to sell the restaurant space to LaScala Restaurant Group, with the transition taking place this fall.
“This decision was not made lightly,” said the Christou family. “Since opening our doors, it has been our privilege to serve the Newtown community. We’ve had the honor of being part of so many celebrations, family dinners, and everyday moments shared around our tables. We are sincerely grateful to every guest who chose to dine with us, supported our team, and helped to make this restaurant what it is today.”
