+ Former Isabelle’s owner will manage Whitney Beach Deli
Linda Loscalzo, who owned the former Isabelle’s Eatery until 2004, is now managing restaurant operations at Whitney Beach Deli & Wines, 6810 Gulf of Mexico Drive. Loscalzo is still tweaking plans for the restaurant, including its name and menu, but plans to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner while also operating the bar. The restaurant will also cater events.

Isabelle’s Eatery closed at Whitney Beach Plaza in 2007. Whitney Beach Deli & Wines opened in February 2009.

Andrew Hlywa will retain ownership of the restaurant and continue to operate Longboat Key Liquors, which is located inside the restaurant. For information, call 383-7180.
