http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/piazzasale.htmlFormerly Node cafe, La Piazza, 1504 E. North Ave., has gone through a couple incarnations over the past year or so, trying its hand at being a cafe, a bar and a pizzeria.
It opened in summer 2007 and closed for remodeling shortly after. It reopened at the start of 2008.
Now, the "inexperienced" owners are looking to sell to someone with more background in the restaurant business.
Here's the listing from craigslist.org:
