Rossobianco, a wine bar and restaurant serving northern Italian-inspired food, opened recently in Portland’s West End and will have a grand opening in early September.

The restaurant, at 3 Deering Ave., is a collaboration between David Levi, the owner/chef of Vinland in Portland, and Colleen Callahan, who most recently ran the wine and beer program for Aurora Provisions and will serve as wine director at the new restaurant.

The chef de cuisine is Scott London, a Maine native who attended the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Boulder, Colo., and worked for several years at Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder. London has also spent time in Italy interning at restaurants in the Friuli-Venezia Guilia region.

Rossobianco’s grand opening on Sept. 3 will begin at 5 p.m. with Italian bar snacks for $2.50 each. The menu will include arancini (fried risotto balls), fried bluefish with sweet onion, salume, Italian cheeses and fish rillette on toast.

The hours will be 5 to 11 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays.
