Acquaviva Ristorante Opened Wednesday In New Batavia Home

BATAVIA, IL — Acquaviva Winery and Ristorante no longer lives on North Water Street in downtown Batavia.

The Italian eatery celebrated opening at its new spot at 1900 Mill St., the building that previously housed Tribella Restaurant, which closed at the end of March. Wednesday was its first day in business in the Randall Road corridor.

The new location opened after months of remodeling. The space now includes an event space, a wine-tasting bar to greet restaurant-goers as they enter the space, a small retail area and a full-service bar.

Plans are in the works to hold wine classes in the event space, which can hold up to 50 people, according to a Batavia Chamber of Commerce news release.

Brandonisio and Mayor Jeffery Schielke joined Chamber staff to celebrate the reopening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 20.

"We can't wait for our fabulous customers to enjoy our estate wines & delicious cuisine at the new Batavia location," owners said in an announcement on Facebook.

The restaurant is currently only accepting reservations, which can be made by calling 630-761-1010. Acquaviva is open from 3-9 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday
