A new restaurant is under construction in the newly remodeled Greenlife building in Riverview.
This architectural rendering shows what Public House founder Nathan Lindley’s new restaurant on Hixson Pike could look like.A new Italian restaurant and a new raw juice bar are slated to open this spring in North Chattanooga, filling up a section of retail on Hixson Pike that’s been empty for years.
Veteran Chattanooga restaurateur Nathan Lindley, who owns downtown restaurant Public House, will open the Italian eatery, Primo, in the old Greenlife building at 1100 Hixson Pike.
The New York City, neighborhood-style restaurant will feature classic American Italian food, Lindley said, with red sauce, meatballs, clams or even a steak with a roasted head of garlic. Construction is already underway on the 82-seat, 2,400 square-foot restaurant, and the eatery should be open by the end of May.
“It is the prime location for Riverview and North Chattanooga,” Lindley said. “It’s a great building, with parking, in the right spot.”
