Vita Nova has a new look

11:38 a.m., Oct. 6, 2005--Vita Nova, the Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management’s (HRIM) student-run restaurant, is all spruced up to welcome customers with new carpet and wallpaper. The project was completed just before the semester started when rich garnet carpet and grey textured wallpaper were installed.

Last spring, a series of new photographs of campus scenes, representing the different seasons and taken by photographers in the Office of Public Relations, were hung in the restaurant. Reflecting the beauty of UD’s buildings and plantings, the reinstalled photographs link Vita Nova to the University at large.

New window treatments will complete the redecoration project.

“Vita Nova originally opened in 1996 so we are going into our 10th year, and it was time to refurbish” Joe DiGregorio, general manager/director of restaurant operations, said. “We have had many compliments from customers on our new look.”

Vita Nova serves lunch from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and dinner from 5:30-7:30 p.m., Wednesday through Friday. To make reservations, call (302) 831-0500 or send e-mail to [bmayer@udel.edu].
