Grand opening of J. Anthony’s “new” Italian Grill<br />
By Janet Stoica<br />
It’s new, it’s different, and<br />
it’s like nothing else in the<br />
area, according to Jason Villatico,<br />
owner of J. Anthony’s<br />
Italian Grill on the Auburn/<br />
Oxford line. To celebrate<br />
the beginning of the New<br />
England Patriots football<br />
season on Sept. 12, Jason<br />
Villatico held a grand opening<br />
of J. Anthony’s newly<br />
renovated restaurant, with<br />
door prizes, giveaways and<br />
some great drink specials<br />
and new food items.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are TVs everywhere,<br />
complete with surround-sound.<br />

our host station to the opposite<br />
section to accommodate<br />
live acoustics. We’ll target and<br />
feature all local artists in the<br />
mid-section of our building<br />
so that patrons at both newlyrenovated<br />
bar areas will be<br />
able to see and hear the vibrant<br />
sound quality,” according<br />
to Jason.<br />
Distinctive craft cocktails<br />
are part of their signature<br />
drink and meal menu. Jason<br />
stated that their lounge area<br />
was always a very successful<br />
part of their business and<br />
that many customers came<br />
to J. Anthony’s for the atmosphere<br />
of their lounge. “We<br />
brought the comfortable and<br />
relaxing atmosphere of our<br />
lounge to the front of our<br />
establishment. Two unique<br />
bar areas with local entertainment<br />
and lots of video<br />
with mint audio. You won’t<br />
find another place like ours<br />
anywhere in this area. We’re<br />

proud to show everyone the<br />
new changes we’ve made.”<br />
Jason was also quick to<br />
point out that J. Anthony’s is<br />
still the same family-friendly<br />
restaurant it’s always been.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’ve listened to their<br />
frequent diners and have<br />
switched up their menu to<br />
reflect their diners’ current<br />
tastes and requests and he<br />
feels that everyone will be<br />
happy with the results. “Our<br />
new dining area is above the<br />
Garden Court in the Deck<br />
Room,” he said. “We’re utilizing<br />
all areas to their best<br />
advantage. It’s definitely a<br />
new style. Our customers<br />
will really enjoy themselves.<br />
Our same great staff will be<br />
right here for them.”<br />
J. Anthony’s will certainly<br />
be focusing more on acoustics<br />
and sports, more so than<br />
in the past. <strong>The</strong>y’ve renovated<br />
from top to bottom.<br />
