Located inside the historic 300 Main Social House, Trecento will offer a menu of authentic Italian dishes with a modern culinary twist, featuring pizza, pasta, salads and cocktails. The restaurant will host a grand opening celebration on Wednesday, July 16 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. In addition to enjoying curated pairings that will elevate the dining experience, guests who dine in for lunch will receive a free pizza pie for a future visit and can enter for the chance to win free pizza for a year.

“Come raise a glass, taste what’s to come, and toast to a new chapter in local Italian cuisine,” Nick Cicchinelli, general manager of Trecento, said in a press release.

According to the release, Trecento is inspired by the owners’ family hometown of Bologna, which is known for culinary excellence and warm hospitality. Menu items are made with seasonal, premium ingredients, and guests will be able to enjoy promotions like the $30 Lunch for Two, Half-Priced Wine Wednesdays and the elevated “Girl Lunch” — a combination of Caesar salad, crispy fries and a handcrafted martini.

Once open, Trecento’s hours will be 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
