On the walls and in the dishes, Chris Richardson’s Old World roots will be on display when his newest restaurant, Novella’s Italian Restaurant & Bar, opens Friday on the Gainesville square.
Richardson, who also owns nearby restaurants YellowFin Restaurant and Recess Southern Gastro-Pub, was putting final touches Wednesday on the eatery at 115 Washington St. NW, former home of a longtime downtown staple, The Monkey Barrel.
