Millie’s menu includes calzones, sub sandwiches and pizza. The new restaurant is owned by Adam Arnold of Miamisburg and is managed by Arnold’s business partner, Marie Curtis, also of Miamisburg. It is named for Arnold’s late grandmother, Mildred Arnold, who worked at Imperial House South, Peerless Mill Inn and Antonio’s, three now-defunct Dayton-area restaurants. Arnold himself has worked at several Dayton-area restaurants, including The Hamburger Wagon, Ron’s Pizza and the Kettering Village Inn.
Millie’s Philly Cheesesteaks seats 22 inside, although it has a large patio that will boost seating in the spring. The restaurant opens with four employees and is open six days a week for lunch and dinner, closed Sunday. For more information, call (937) 299-3936.
The former Bosco’s Grill & Tavern, 5900 Bigger Road, has been purchased by the owner of Palermo’s Restaurant in Kettering, who plans to open an Italian restaurant there before the end of the year, according to Palermo’s chef Luigi “Louie” Sallaku, who will oversee the new restaurant with Palermo’s owner Mefail “Meef” Demnika.
Bosco’s closed a year ago. The new venture’s name has not been decided, but “Luigi’s” and “Tuscany” are among the possibilities, Sallaku said. The restaurant will seat about 100, and renovations are expected to take three to six weeks.
Sallaku said the new restaurant’s menu will contain some dishes served at Palermo’s, but will include a wider variety of entrees and appetizers, and will be “a little more upscale.” It will have a full liquor license, Sallaku said.
Palermo’s, which opened in early 2007 at 2667 S. Dixie Drive, recently expanded into a space next door, which boosted its seating capacity from 60 to 99.
