A new restaurant and lounge headed to Symphony Park promises Italian fare and live music when it opens in 2022. Vic’s brings together Chris Lowden of Stoney’s Rockin’ Country fame and Mark DiMartino, who had DiMartino’s Family Deli and later operated the upscale Tillerman restaurant.

The venue takes over more than 6,200 square feet of ground-level space in a public parking garage, owned by the city, across from the Discovery Children’s Museum in Symphony Park. Lowden negotiated a 21-year term for $4.2 million, below fair market value, and expects to invest more than $2 million into the property.
