Andrea’s Dolce Vita in Glenore Centre in Glenashley has shut its doors. But the good news is that Marco Conte, who owns the highly successful Marco’s and Mama Luciana’s in Greyville, is to take over the premises.

He and mother Luciana are soon to open a branch of the popular, casual Mama’s, offering a range of pastas and other mainstream Italian fare at reasonable prices. The lean-lined venue will give the homely trattoria a more upmarket image.
