The latest concept from P Hospitality Management opens its doors on March 17, 2025.
Since news broke that Eddie and Christina Pozzuoli and Paul Greenberg, owners of P Hospitality Management, were opening Eddie & Vinny’s Coastal Italian in the former Tavolino Della Notte space in Coral Springs, anticipation has been high. Now, those eagerly waiting can mark their calendars, as the restaurant will open to the public on Monday, March 17, 2025. The excitement is no surprise, given Tavolino’s past popularity. With its soulful Italian fare, ambitious cocktail program, and live entertainment, Tavolino—the brainchild of Ed Pozzuoli Sr., Eddie’s father—was a beloved destination in Coral Springs. The couple had been involved with the restaurant since 2012, helping it grow before deciding to sell. Now, they are transforming the space into a modern dining spot that honors its storied past.
Located at 10181 West Sample Road, Eddie & Vinny’s will bring a taste of culinary excellence with fresh, seasonal cuisine inspired by the Italian seaside, along with an array of Italian classics, an exceptional wine list, sophisticated cocktails, and top-tier entertainment. “This is a family business if ever there was one,” says Eddie. “To be actively working to bring that space back to life and introduce something new and exciting to the community is a dream come true.”
Tavolino premiered in 2007 by Pozzuoli Sr. and partner Thomas Genduso. For more than a dozen years the restaurant was a beloved neighborhood destination for diners seeking meticulously executed Italian cuisine and a bustling lounge scene with live music. The restaurant changed ownership in June 2019 and ultimately closed in March 2024, although the property remained owned by the Pozzuoli family.
When its doors open, the 230-seat, indoor-outdoor space, designed by Anna Woodman, will feature a completely reimagined look that melds Mediterranean touches with contemporary elegance. Dark blues, caramel wood tones, brassy gold, and black & white touches will create an atmosphere of opulence and sophistication. Views into the kitchen, spacious and airy dining area, and a swanky new bar and lounge will meld seamlessly into one another to create a bustling and convivial atmosphere. It will boast a sleek, sexy design, plush barstools, and banquette seating, all perfect for enjoying a stellar lineup of live entertainment. Layered gold pendant lighting, black canvas exposed ceilings, and personal wine lockers – reflecting the bespoke wine membership that will be available – will complete the look.
The exquisite, Italian-inspired menu is led by award-winning Chef Jeff Tunks, the talent behind the Corvina concept in Boca Raton; and Chef David Garcia, Corporate Executive Chef for Prezzo Restaurants. Garcia will now take on the role of Executive Chef at Eddie & Vinny’s.
The menu features a variety of Raw & Cold Starters, Warm Appetizers, Salads, Fresh Pasta, Chicken, Fish, Prime Cuts, Sides and Desserts, promising a memorable dining experience for all.
Dishes include starters such as Blue Crab Bruschetta – Jumbo lump crab, Campari tomatoes, Stracciatella and grilled ciabatta; “Black & Blue” Seared Beef Carpaccio – black truffle aioli, charred cipollini onions, arugula and blue cheese; The Wagyu Meatball – crispy cheese polenta, marinara and basil ricotta cheese; Chargrilled Octopus – Heirloom tomato, cannellini beans, panzanella, tomato pesto and Ricotta Salata and Steamed PEI Mussels “Sorrento” — sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, Limoncello cream, and grilled focaccia.
House-made pastas will be plentiful with dishes like Spicy Rigatoni Vodka; Malfadine Cacio E Pepe; Lobster Linguine Fra Diavolo and Lasagna “Timballo Teramo” – Abruzzo-style layered Crepe Lasagna, Wagyu Bolognese and Four Cheese Mornay. Entrees will run the gamut from steaks to seafood with dishes like Local Yellowtail Livornese with olives, capers, tomato and Pinot Grigio and a Tuscan Cowboy Ribeye Steak with rosemary & balsamic glazed cipollini onions. Of course, diners craving beloved classics (chicken parmigiana anybody?) will not be disappointed.
Freshly made desserts, an Italian-influenced wine list, and various classic and creative cocktails will also be available.
Eddie & Vinny’s is slated to open on Monday, March 17 at 10181 West Sample Road in Coral Springs.
