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.
