A rustic restaurant with European flair will open Monday in the space that housed Wilshire for 14 years. New owner Michael Greco has transformed the building and its spacious patio into an inviting, 300-seat villa where diners can enjoy a menu from chef Brendan Collins that blends Italian and Californian influences.

Greco replaced Wilshire’s wooden patio with Tuscan gravel, exposed its antique brick walls and added lush greenery, oil paintings and fireplaces throughout the many rooms of the restaurant to make guests feel as though they are dining in a home on the Amalfi coast. The name of the restaurant, Fia, is derived from Fiacre, the patron saint of gardens, Greco said.
