Spena is launching two new restaurants to replace Cuzzie's and Rhythm & Spirits on Tennessee Avenue in Atlantic City.

Isabella’s and Paulie's Steak Italiano, which will combine the desired classic steakhouse offerings, with bold, delicious Italian flavors.

Paulie’s will feature cuts of ribeye, filet mignon, and porterhouse steaks and pair them with Italian-inspired side dishes and sauces.

Spena and Atlantic City developer Mark Callazzo appear to be a great business match.

"I was born and raised in Atlantic City, and when my dear friend and wine buddy Mark Callazzo approached me about joining him in this venture, I knew I could bring a renewed vision and commitment to excellence to Tennessee Avenue," said Spena, who is a co-owner & managing partner. "I want to show both residents and visitors why this is the place to be for dining and nightlife,” said Spena.

Here are the final 3 Isabella’s pizzas that Spena has shared with us on a pre-opening basis:
