Anchoring the building's prominent street-facing corner, the restaurant features a dramatic double-height dining room, a 20-seat bar and both indoor and outdoor seating designed to welcome guests throughout the day and evening.

About the Operator

John-Paul Gagliano, whose family-owned restaurant group is behind acclaimed local dining destinations Ecco, Libro and Tonica, will debut an original dining concept within Memphis Art Museum. The restaurant is scheduled to open in January 2027.

The restaurant will introduce a version of the Libro concept to a 4,595-square-foot dining space designed by Nashville-based Dryden Studio.

Extended Hours

A dedicated street entrance lets the restaurant keep its own hours, so you can stop in for a long lunch, a glass of wine after work or a Saturday night out.

Private Events

A full-service catering kitchen hosts weddings, private dinners and other gatherings beyond the regular menu.
