Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano is moving, while the company is planning a second restaurant in Bloomington.
Biaggi's has announced it has purchased land at the northeast corner of Empire Street and Airport Road, where the restaurant will relocate. The company will also be opening a new Mexican restaurant at the site.
The Mexican restaurant is scheduled to open in the spring and the new Biaggi's site will open in fall 2019, according to a news release.
Biaggi's current location would remain open until the new site is ready. Biaggi’s corporate office will relocate to the new site from their current location on Clearwater Avenue.
Biaggi's spokeswoman Amy Goddard said the new Mexican restaurant will employ about 100 workers once it opens.
Biaggi's opened in Bloomington in 1999. It operates 19 restaurants in nine states.
