V&Co Pizzeria opened in July at Fruitville Commons from Tommy Villani's group, with a scratch pantry and house-made sausage. Alma de España on Osprey Avenue is run by chef Elier Rodriguez, whose résumé includes Picasso at the Bellagio. Mimi Brasserie & Speakeasy opened in the former Adeline space on Hillview.
