Caruccio's Grand Opening!

September 27, 2017

We had a wonderful time at the Grand Opening for Caruccio's on September 14th! Delicious food was shared and glasses of champagne were clinked all evening.

The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was a special moment for everyone involved in the project -- the excitement of seeing Lisa's dream become a reality was truly felt once the ribbon was cut and the center was filled with people celebrating. Rino Caruccio, Lisa's husband, gave a touching speech to mark the momentous occasion!

Caruccio's is now open, with lots of events on their calendar -- visit their website for details on their latest events.

Caruccio's Build Updates & Photos from Soft Opening Weekend

August 29, 2017

We've come a long way ever since Lisa Caruccio first had her idea of creating a culinary event center on Mercer Island, and now the grand opening for Caruccio’s on September 14th is less than a month away!

Suzanne Zahr and her Design-Build team are thrilled to finally light up the Caruccio's site! On August 24th, the Caruccio’s site was officially handed over to the Caruccio’s team for their soft opening weekend. Final inspections were completed just in time for the soft opening, and now they’re up and running, getting acclimated to their new space and making it their own. Suzanne’s team is delighted to see Lisa’s dream fully realized and come to life.

Another wonderful gathering of friends, as we enjoyed the photographic exhibit, DETRITUS, by Sen. Lisa Wellman.

So grateful for Caruccio's culinary delights, as well as the musical musings of Asim Kapoor, talented Cellist & son of Artist, Deborah Kapoor.

Special thanks to Keith Imper of MICA for interviewing Lisa Caruccio for yet another #microMICAmoment at the SZ Gallery.

Cheers!

Caruccio’s – A Fully-Realized Dream

August 1, 2017

It takes a certain type of person to take a dream business plan and build it into reality. It also takes a supreme level of trust in another person to help you create exactly what you want, especially if you’re not entirely sure how to make every detail happen.

For Lisa and Rino Caruccio, that person is Suzanne Zahr.

Caruccio’s is the newest state-of-the-art Culinary Event Center on Mercer Island, set to have their grand opening on Thursday, September 14th. It all started from an idea that Lisa Caruccio had to create a space for the community to gather, eat, and learn, along with elevating the culinary arts.
