So, when does it open? (We never made it to Dean's Steakhouse, but based on reports here, am not surprised that it closed. That location is a good one, so long as they have valet parking in place..)

No, that restaurant is one that was in Marigot before. Cuigini, I think?? There is another thread about it. This is where Peg Leg used to be, before they moved by PDP casino.

I think Enzo was the previous owner of Granduca in Maho. After that, he was managing the Dunes Casino. He would have been better to have opened a restaurant where the Waterfront Restaurant was next to Skipjacks. The location he has chosen leaves a lot to be desired since parking is not good there and it is hidden from the main road, so not very visible.

There is more than one person from Italy named "Enzo". I think the one you are talking about is different than the one opening this new restaurant. ? This Enzos' background sounds different than the Enzo (from Granduca) that you are talking about! sxmmm1987 said: He owned a restaurant and catering business in Tuscany. As of late, he was employed by Toscana Saporita, a wonderful cooking school in Massacciccolo Italy. Enzo will be preparing authentic Tuscan dishes with real Italian "appericena" at the bar. I'm looking forward to trying it!

The back deck is especially nice--or at least it was when it was Peg Leg. Wonder if they will have a/c inside? In general, I prefer open air restaurants in SXM, but with Italian food, it is appreciated to have a/c...

I was hoping it was the same Enzo! Maybe all Enzos are good cooks; we will have to wait and see. New restaurants in SXM always present a challenge so we wish him well.
