Breakfast was the thing at Riccobono’s Peppermill, and for decades it was a destination near the heart of Metairie’s business district for morning meetings and more casual social gatherings over the table. Since closing last summer, the future of its location had been an open question.
But now the former Peppermill at 3524 Severn Ave. is home to a new restaurant aiming to serve a similar role later in the day, and with much different menu, look and style.
Vacca Steakhouse opened in June as a new restaurant modeled on a classic template.
