Yosteria opens its enoteca
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – A downtown Youngstown business is expanding.
Yosteria celebrated the grand opening of its new space–the enoteca at Yosteria.
The owners modeled the space after a traditional wine bar in Italy, which is known as an “enoteca.”
The space located in the backyard of the property features an expanded wine list–their own in-house made wine and full bar options.
The owners say the expansion helps bring their original vision to life, showcasing a wide variety of Italian cuisine.
“We have strong southern Italian roots here,” co-owner Alex Zordich said. “We have a lot of southern Italian food, but we also have a lot of central northern. It’s fine introducing those fruits even to the Southern Italians here. So we’re excited about the wine aspect of that to just continue to educate.”
“There are so many Indigenous grapes in Italy, hundreds and hundreds, and we want to show you the different expressions of wine and how they, you know, they pair with food and just all the different wines that Italy has to offer,” co-owner Frank Tuscano added.
The owners say if you would like to check the new space out, reservations are highly recommended.
You can make those over on their website or by calling the restaurant.

Ohio’s first mountain coaster coming to Hocking Hills
HOCKING HILLS, Ohio (WJW) — Visitors to Hocking Hills will soon have an opportunity to experience the beauty of southeastern Ohio in a whole new way.
Jake Ryan is one of the visionaries behind the Hocking Hills Mountain Coaster, a brand new attraction set to open next year.
According to Ryan, the coaster will feature 3,640 feet of track that will bob and weave through the trees at speeds up to 26 miles per hour, allowing riders to view Hocking Hills through a completely different lens.
Crews will break ground on the project August 1.
“We are so proud to bring this to the Hocking Hills community. This isn’t just for the tourists who visit this incredible area, it’s for the local community too, and we truly believe it’s going to be a blessing for everyone in the region,” Ryan wrote on social media, announcing the project and sharing a video rendering of what’s to come.
Ryan, who also manages more than two dozen cabins in the Hocking Hills area, told Fox 8 News visitors to the scenic region often share feedback about their stay, and one thing they always seem to ask for is more attractions.
Though rich with hiking trails, waterfalls, caves to explore and more, Ryan said he is filling a gap in the area with the creation of the Hocking Hills Mountain Coaster.
“It is definitely a need for the area based on feedback we get directly from guests we’re hosting,” Ryan said.
After looking across the country for different ideas and inspiration, Ryan said an alpine coaster – popular in areas like Gatlinburg, Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains – made the most sense in terms of giving visitors a unique, fun adventure they wouldn’t get anywhere else in the state.
“There’s nothing like it in Ohio,” Ryan told Fox 8. “It is a completely different experience.”

The project should be complete by late winter 2026 or early spring 2027.
Along with the coaster, Ryan said a 5,000 square foot commercial building will also be constructed to house a gift shop, merchandise and activities for the whole family.
