Carmelo’s Opens in Covington
Carmelo’s, located at the corner of Fifth Street and Madison Avenue in Covington, held its soft opening this week. The restaurant—owned by Billy Grise, formerly of Thunderdome Restaurant Group, and Mitch Arens, founder of the private chef company Southernly—is named after Grise’s great-grandfather and focuses on traditional and contemporary Italian cuisine, such as oxtail ragu, grilled lamb sausage, and hand-pulled mozzarella. (See our Instagram account about the spot for a behind-the-scenes look.)

Catch-a-Fire Pizza’s newest location in College Hill is set to open next Saturday, November 9, at 5920 Hamilton Avenue in the College Hill Business District. The event will feature free samples, giveaways throughout the day and live music from 5 to 8 p.m. Click here for more information.
