FORTINA TO OPEN IN RYE RIDGE SHOPPING CENTER THIS FALL

May 12 – Rye Brook, NY – The Rye Ridge Shopping Center, Rye Plaza and Rye South are thrilled to announce that the “uber-hip” Fortina of Armonk has signed a long term lease for 3200 square feet, in the space recently vacated by Racanelli’s Pizza & Brew.

Fortina’s original location in Armonk, which opened in May 2013 by John Nealon, Rob Krauss and Christian Petroni has evolved into a dining revolution. The trio describe their concept as “straight forward Italian food, cooked in wood fired ovens” and the press they have received has done nothing but praise them.

Erin Hinchey, Leasing Agent for the Rye Ridge Shopping Center noted, “We literally had more interest in this space than any other in the shopping center.  We had a very lengthy list of national, regional and local players all vying for the space. We choose Fortina because we know they will provide an exceptional dining experience, in a casual but hip environment that will be well suited for families as well as foodies and that’s ultimately what our shoppers wanted.”
