Mama Leone's to Re-Open in Shopping Center on Bellevue Avenue
The restaurant was shuttered after a car plowed through the front on Connell Highway, but now a new eatery is opening in the old spot, too.
NEWPORT, RI —Wednesday night's City Council agenda includes one tasty item, a new victualing license for Mama Leone's opening at 266 Bellevue Ave.
The restaurant is moving into a storefront in the shopping center near the Stop & Shop.
According to the license application, the hours of operation will be 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. There will be seating for about 40, with tables and booths.

Mama Leone's has been closed since March when a driver lost control of his car and smashed through the front of the building on Connell Highway.
But workmen were on site Dec. 2 removing the plywood and installing new windows. A new restaurant is opening there in a few weeks. Joanna Reves of North Kingstown is listed as the owner.
