NEW ITALIAN RESTAURANT WILL OPEN IN BEMUS POINT
BEMUS POINT-The restaurant formerly known as “The Fish” is getting a new menu, new look and a new name; Trattoria Partenope. Less than a year after opening in the Village of Ellicottville, the restaurant is adding a second site on Chautauqua Lake.
Owners Giovanni Sismondi and Andrea Lucignano recently closed on the purchase of The Fish, which operated for the past eight years at 61 Lakeside Drive.
Mr. Sismondi is a native of Naples, Italy, and his Ellicottville restaurant’s menu reflects that southern Italian heritage.
“Partenope” is often used poetically to refer to Naples or Neapolitan culture.
