Enzo Steakhouse & Bar, the Italian steakhouse that built a loyal following at Town at Trilith, is heading intown. The wood-fired specialist is set to open in Midtown Atlanta this winter, taking over the main restaurant space at Epicurean Atlanta and replacing Reverence as the hotel reshapes its lobby and dining layout. Co-owners and chefs Andrea Montobbio and David Gibbs say the new spot will keep Enzo’s Italian backbone while tweaking the menu for Midtown regulars, shifting the brand from a suburban destination to a street-visible, intown address.
Reverence Bows Out As Enzo Steps In
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Enzo will take over the former Reverence space at Epicurean Atlanta, filling roughly 2,886 square feet that will be reworked by Atlanta firm Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio. Plans call for an open kitchen, a sizable bar, lounge seating, and both indoor and outdoor options. The story quotes Montobbio calling the switch "a great transition" and notes that this will be the ownership team’s first intown restaurant. Reverence is scheduled to close July 22 so the hotel can start renovations and prepare the room for Enzo’s winter debut, according to the paper.
Epicurean’s Refresh Targets Lobby And Street Vibes
Epicurean Atlanta’s website posts a "Pardon Our Progress" notice stating that the hotel will begin a luxury refresh of its lobby and lobby restaurant on July 22, 2026, and directs guests to other on-site options while construction is underway. The hotel describes the project as a chance to separate the lobby from the restaurant footprint and sharpen the future concept’s street presence. During the work, breakfast service will shift to The Office Bar and the Aerial Kitchen & Bar will stay open, according to Epicurean Atlanta.
What Midtown Can Expect From Enzo
Enzo’s original location at Town at Trilith in Fayetteville earned its name on charcuterie boards, pastas like lobster and burrata risotto, and a wood-fired steak program, a core lineup the partners say they plan to bring with them to Midtown. The restaurant’s site currently lists the Fayetteville address and operating hours. Local trade coverage first surfaced Enzo’s plans to expand into Atlanta late last year.

Opening Timeline And Previews On Deck
The owners say the Midtown outpost is expected to open this winter, with specific dates, menus, and reservation details to follow as construction winds down. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, some Enzo dishes will be previewed at Epicurean events before the doors officially open, and both the hotel and the restaurant team plan to share public updates as work progresses. For Midtown diners, the arrival promises a neighborhood-focused steakhouse that blends Enzo’s Italian roots with its wood-fired grill once it launches later this year, the partners say.
