A few days after its sister, Giulia Italian Bakery, opened at Avenue East Cobb, Luga Italian Eatery has opened its doors.
It’s in the former Drift space (4,400 square feet) and is serving dinner only this week, from 5-10 p.m. Starting Monday, Luga will be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
Operated by brothers Ben and Seth Gjuka, Luga features a one-page seasonal menu of antipasti, salads, Roma-style pizzas, and house-made pastas.
Giulia opened on Friday and is the second such-named bakery opened by the Gjuka brothers, following the original Peachtree Corners location. Specialty coffees and teas, Italian bakery items, sandwiches, pizzas and foccacias are on the menu.
Giulia is open at Avenue East Cobb daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Both Luga and Giulia aced their initial health inspections prior to opening.
The Gjurkas began in the restaurant industry as teenagers in Europe, primarily in Italy. After settling in the Atlanta area, they began their own food ventures in outlying Peachtree City and Newnan, where they have been living.
They started Positano Pizza Napoletana in both of those suburban areas, and there is a third location in Mableton.
There’s not an opening date set yet for another forthcoming restaurant at Avenue. Tenku Sushi Elevation will be opening in one of the new “jewel box” buildings that was part of Avenue East Cobb’s recent redevelopment.
Tenku’s first restaurant, in Woodstock, offers a variety of Japanese dishes that include nigiri and sashimi, signature rolls, robata grills, omakase, and flame-seared marinated octopus.
The Avenue East Cobb location will have a rooftop bar.
