About the Restaurant
Mike and Antoni Christou, a brother duo, founded and operate the concept restaurant. The concept is inspired by the Mediterranean tradition of meze, a selection of small dishes meant to be shared. The owners decided to turn the practice into an upscale yet casual communal dining experience.
Located in the Village at Newtown Shopping Center, the restaurant features an open kitchen and an extensive beverage program.
Even though Árdana is closing, the owners are optimistic and are looking forward to LaScala Restaurant’s upcoming project. They mentioned, “We’re confident that LaScala Restaurant Group will build upon the foundation we’ve established here, and we know this community will continue to be well cared for.”
The Warrington location of Árdana Food & Drink and its sister restaurant, KC Prime Steakhouse, will continue to serve the community. As the restaurant enters its final months of operation, it invites the community to visit and enjoy one more meal.
