The Star on Dec. 14 announced that more than 40,000 square feet of space has been leased between July and November. The new concepts are all signed to North Texas-based owners, and are expected to open throughout 2022, according to a news release. In addition, an existing restaurant is relocating to a new space.
Lombardi Cucina Italiana
Lombardi Cucina Italiana, from Lombardi Family Concepts founder and president Alberto Lombardi, is a new concept “in celebration of his 45th anniversary as a restaurateur.”
The menu will feature authentic Italian cuisine with “a modern touch,” according to the release. “Fatto a mano” pastas will be produced daily in an open “pasta laboratorio” alongside fresh fish, meats and produce on the menu. A selection of wines and cocktails will also be available for guests, the release said.
Lombardi Cucina Italiana is expected to open in early 2022 at 6655 Winning Drive, Ste. 605.

Two of the new venues will coincide with one another and be located next to each other.
The menu at The Glen will feature craft cocktails, a selection of wine and scotch and seafood specialties. In addition, aerial performing artists and other entertainers will make an appearance, according to the release.
Next door at Monarch Stag will be live music, a cigar lounge, and “the finest and rarest scotch whisky and bourbon selections from around the world.”
Derek and Sheree Simms at Simms Hospitality Group are behind the two complimentary venues. Simms Hospitality Group also owns and operates J. Theodore and Rare Books Bar in Frisco.
