Newport Restaurant Group Announces New Concept to Replace TRIO in Narragansett
According to NRG, inspired by coastal European cuisine, Celeste’s menu will feature raw bar offerings highlighted by a selection of crudo, an expanded pizza menu, shareable small plates, and entrees "steeped in the flavors of coastal Italy, France, and Spain."
“We are proud of the loyal following that TRIO has achieved within the Narragansett community over the years,” said Jeff Tenner, Director of Concept Development, Newport Restaurant Group. “After 15 years, it’s time for a change and we’re ready to bring something unique to the pier once again with Celeste, an experience that we’re excited to introduce to local residents and visitors alike. Until then, TRIO’s doors are open and we hope the community will join us for their holiday celebrations, enjoy lunch or dinner with us, or just grab a seat at the bar.”
