Bellini’s owner plans new Lee Branch restaurant

Doug Hovanec, the owner of Bellini’s Ristorante and Grill, signed a lease on October for a new restaurant in the Village at Lee Branch.

The restaurant, which Hovanec said will be called Revolve Kitchen and Brew, will take the place of the former Bella Cucina restaurant on Doug Baker Boulevard. He described it as a “chef-driven American style tavern and beer garden.”

Revolve will occupy a 2,500-square-foot space with an industrial design inside, multiple TVs and outdoor communal tables. Hovanec said they will feature around 120 beers, with at least 16 brews on tap, and a portion of the menu will change each month to reflect the chef’s choices and seasonal dishes.

Hovanec said the restaurant will be open six days a week for lunch and dinner, as well as Sundays for a limited time, and food prices will average $10-12 per person.

With the lease signed, Hovanec said initial drawings of the Revolve restaurant should be available within weeks. Visit 280living.com for updates on the restaurant or contact info@revolvekb.com for more details.
