Tulia Italian Steak replacing The French in Naples
There’s a new Tulia in town. In a surprise move on Fifth Avenue South, Chef Vincenzo Betulia is flipping one of his popular restaurant concepts from a brasserie to a steakhouse. The French closed Sept. 7 in downtown Naples and will reopen next month as Tulia Italian Steak. Interior renovations are expected to take only a few weeks, so Betulia is shooting to launch his new concept in early October. “We’ve already been working on all this for a few months,” he said. “I want to limit the down time of the restaurant, especially to our staff members. A lot of them are going on holiday because September is the slowest month.”
