New downtown Fort Worth Italian restaurant ready to open, has tables for Valentine’s

The much-awaited 61 Osteria, a new Italian restaurant downtown facing Burnett Park, will open for dinner Jan. 31, owner Adam Jones announced Monday.

The restaurant by chef Blaine Staniford, also of Grace and Little Red Wasp, will blend Italian cuisine from different regions on a menu that also includes dishes such as sea bass with spinach gnudi, swordfish puttanesca, veal chop marsala and a 28-ounce prime porterhouse.

The restaurant’s design is a tribute to the location in 1961-vintage First on 7th tower.

Lunch, weekend brunch and family-style Sunday “suppers” will be added in coming weeks.

Reservations, including for Valentine’s Day, are available on Resy.com.
