ROME —Vine & Fig Wine Bistro recently formally opened in Rome.

The restaurant — located at 8171 Turin Road, the former location of Kikko’s Koffee House — held a grand-opening event on Aug. 13 with the Rome Area Chamber of Commerce.

Mike Manuele, from AmeriCU Credit Union, and member of the Rome Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors, presented a “first dollar of profit” award to Carly and Cynthia Reynolds, owners of the Vine & Fig Wine Bistro, according to a chamber news release.

The restaurant first opened to the public in July, according to its website.

Vine & Fig Wine Bistro says it is a contemporary neighborhood restaurant and wine bar. It specializes in wine and craft beer (including an extensive selection of beers brewed in New York state), as well as house-made small plates, salads, sandwiches, and desserts.

The restaurant is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 4-10 p.m., Thursday from 4-11 p.m., and Friday & Saturday from 4 p.m-12 a.m. The restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday.

The 8171 Turin Road property was founded as a dairy farm in the 1800s, and over the years, has been home to farms, restaurants, offices, and coffee shops, according to the Vine & Fig Wine Bistro website.
