This looks like good news for Grandville and surrounding areas as there are new owners of The Grandvilla and they may be reopening. Not exactly as it was before, but it won't be an empty building anymore.

For over 75-years, the family owned Grandvilla Restaurants was a very successful restaurant both upstairs and the Dungeon downstairs.

Sadly however, they closed their doors in 2022. The pandemic certainly took its tool and the family decided it was time to move in another direction.

The building sat empty until it was snatched up by new owners recently who want to get it up and running again.

According to sources, the upstairs won't be a restaurant anymore but an event, banquet venue that will have enough space to hold many types of events, meeting, wedding receptions, etc.

The downstairs, formally the Dungeon, folks say, will be a speakeasy bar style.

Obviously much of this is still speculation but the work has begun and we do know that it is coming back in one way or another.

From what we can see now, the outside has been repainted black and a new sign installed. It will simply be called The Villa, and people are hoping they will open soon.

Will it have a similar menu as the Grandvilla and Dungeon?

Mexican was the Dungeon fare, wet burritos, their popular chips and cheese and chips and salsa, the Dungeon burger.

Whatever the style and menu, it's good to see the rebirth of a once popular restaurant.
