La Cubanita has been open for what, two or three whole months now? So, right on schedule, we've received word that the peripatetic Alberto Lombardi is officially on the move again: In May of this year, veteran Dallas restaurateur Alberto Lombardi will open a new restaurant in the West Village. The Italian seafood concept, as yet unnamed, will open in the space now occupied by Ferre Restaurant. This actually will be Mr. Lombardi's second restaurant to feature an Italian-seafood concept. Lombardi Mare, at Addison's Village on the Parkway, won critical acclaim under top chefs such as Tom Fleming (now at Central 214) and Avner Samuel (now running Aurora). But Lombardi Mare closed in 2003, a tough economic year that claimed many notable Dallas restaurants. In related news, Mr. Lombardi has announced that Yoanne Lardeux, a native of Paris (and we don't mean Texas), is the new executive chef at his Knox Street bistro, Cafe Toulouse, replacing chef Colleen O'Hare.

What happening to Ferre? Closing or moving?
Posted by Joyce Saenz Harris @ 4:11 PM Sat, Mar 22, 2008
tm: Our foodie pal T.G. says that "owner Patrick Colombo was 'in the middle of negotiations,' citing the fierce competition in the West Village area as one incentive to get the hell out of Dodge, but emphasized that the Fort Worth branch of Ferre will remain open. The closure will not affect Cru, the successful wine bar also owned by Colombo, located next-door to the Ferre in West Village."
