Celebration Pointe welcomed a new restaurant Saturday morning.

Families stopped by to enjoy the Italian cuisine and the owner of the restaurant is glad he chose Gainesville to open the restaurant.

"I really love Gainesville to tell you the truth. I am a transplant from North Carolina but Gainesville is a beautiful town and I kind of fell in love with it in the first couple of weeks that I came down and it was a right fit. So we're very happy to be here,” Midici Owner Tom Evins said.

Midici's grand opening celebration will continue tomorrow with a performance from country artist Jamie Davis from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
