Great New Restaurant In Nearby Buford
August 25th, 2008 Categories: Gwinnett County, Suwanee Fun Stuff
If you are looking for a new place to enjoy some very fine food, great wine and incredible atmosphere, then you should check out Bella Vita Italian Bistro. Bella Vita is Laurie Attaway’s newest restaurant and is comparable in atmosphere and style to her signature restaurant, Aqua Terra Bistro in historic Buford, with the same focus on excellent food, service and presentation.
Just a short drive up Buford Hwy, you will find Bella Vita in the midst of the Buford Village, the mixed-use development at the corner of Hamilton Mill Rd and Buford Highway. The restaurant is one of the first businesses to open in this new development, which hopes to gain the same level success as Madison Park at Suwanee Town Center. Laurie Attaway’s restaurant fits very well with stylish “live, work, play” environment being created by these new community centers. Bella Vita, like Olde Towne Tavern and Ippolito’s in Suwanee, will provide a community gathering place and fine dining for Buford Village residents, employees and customers of the other surrounding shops, and visitors from nearby communities like Hamilton Mill and Suwanee. I hope to see more businesses and residents moving into the Buford Village soon to support this life-style concept.
My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Bella Vita and had such a great time that we went back two nights later with my wife’s parents to share the experience with them. On both nights, every member of the staff serving us was exceptional in their efforts to make everything about the experience memorable. We were especially impressed with Laurin (with an “i”), our waitress for the anniversary dinner, because she was such a pleasant, fun person to meet. We will be back again soon.

Fine Art - Alive, Well and Available in Gwinnett - Find Our Hidden Treasures
May 3rd, 2008 Categories: Gwinnett County, Suwanee Fun Stuff
The Gwinnett Center and Gwinnett Arena complex is one of Gwinnett county’s many great lifestyle benefits, providing convenient access to exciting sporting events, world-famous entertainers, inspirational conferences and many different facets of fine arts including music and visual arts. One of the hidden treasures within the Gwinnett Center complex is the Jacqueline Casey Hudgens Center for the Arts, which is owned and operated by the Gwinnett Council for the Arts, a non-profit organization supported through the generosity of many private patrons, corporations and foundations.
The Hudgens Center for the Arts is currentjy exhibiting the extraordinary personal collections of Susan and William Rochfort, “Gifts from Africa: Bronzes, Art and Aritifacts.” The opening reception was held last night, Thursday (5/1/08), for an excited crowd of supporters who were treated to a brief explanation, from Susan Rochfort, of the passion which inspired her along with her husband to assemble this amazing collection and then willingly share it with as many people as possible. The reception also included an informative presentation on African culture and its influences on the art of Africa by Dr. Douglas Falen, Asst. Professor of Anthropology at Agnes Scott College. Although this introduction greatly enhanced the experience for those fortunate supporters viewing the exhibit during last night’s reception, the collection itself is amazingly inspirational for everyone who will see it during its eight week stay at the Hudgens Center. The number and diversity of pieces collected by these two passionate individuals will be a treat for hundreds of people throughout Gwinnett county and surrounding areas, including many, many students and young children who will be able to see the exhibit free of charge because of the generosity and passion of Susan Rochfort.
For more information about the “Gifts from Africa: Bronzes, Art and Artifacts” exhibit or other events at Hudgens Center for the Arts visit www.artsgwinnett.org and definitely take advantage of this wonderful treasure right at our back door.
