It might take the locals a while to learn a language intimately familiar to her and her husband-Italian. The couple will operate a fine dining Italian restaurant Rich Daniels plans to open on Broad Street in downtown Eufaula. They hope to open by year's end. (...) A self-described "workaholic," Asha met Chris about nine years ago while she was waiting tables at a second job. He was the bartender at the restaurant. Chris also brings plenty of restaurant experience to La Bella Vita, (The Beautiful Life,) which Daniels plans to open if Eufaula City Council approves a compromise on downtown alcohol licensing laws at its next meeting. (...) "It's going to be nice," she said. "White table cloths, silver on the table, nice music." La Bella Vita will serve all sorts of Italian fare, from ba-sics like lasagna and veal dishes to eggplant parmesan and chicken parmesan. (...) In addition to renovating the building, which needs extensive work to restore its original charm, the Weekses and Daniels are working with a restaurant design consultant.
We welcome them with open arms to our community. Their restaurant project sounds wonderful and a nice addition to the downtown area.
