Fellini’s founders bringing new restaurants to East Lake.

Fellini’s Pizza and La Fonda Latina owners Mike Nelson and Clay Harper and their partners, Jay Martin and Nathan Bolster, are bringing multiple restaurant concepts to the corners of Second Avenue and Hosea Williams Drive in East Lake. The restaurants will be located less than a mile from the prestigious East Lake Golf Club.

The East Lake Foundation and CF Foundation, Inc. partnered to bring the new restaurants to the neighborhood. The properties were purchased by the CF Foundation in 2005, but the originally planned construction was halted due to the recession. The sale to the Fellini’s group is good sign for the strength of the neighborhood and its prospects for the future. “This investment will provide East Lake residents with a much needed destination for good, affordable, interesting food and drink” said Rick Bent, VP Real Estate and Development, CF Foundation, Inc.v

Over the next couple of months, construction will begin to convert the former gas station on the northwest corner into The Greater Good BBQ, the group’s fast-casual barbecue concept. The owners hope to have The Greater Good opened later this fall. On the southeast corner, the restaurateurs will modify the existing green building (formerly home to One Stop food market) for two new restaurant concepts with outdoor seating, and to construct a third, small restaurant. These additional concepts will follow The Greater Good, likely opening early next year.

TNT also notes that none of the restaurants will be Fellini’s or La Fonda locations.
