AVALON – Luigi’s Pasta and Vino celebrated their Grand Re-Opening with a “pasta” ribbon cutting ceremony on July 9. Mayor Suzanne Walters of Stone Harbor and Golden Inn General Manager Justin Mogavero cut the special ribbon made of spinach and sun-dried tomato egg pasta created by Severino Pasta of Westmont, NJ. This is the first time that a pasta ribbon has been used as a unique reminder of the special dining experience that can be had at Luigi’s Pasta and Vino.
Local dignitaries, Golden Inn staff and special guests were in attendance to experience the newly renovated restaurant along with samples of the new menu.
Luigi’s Pasta and Vino is located at the Golden Inn Hotel & Resort Avalon, Oceanfront at 79th Street in Avalon.
