Downtown restaurant makes changes during 1st year

YOUNGSTOWN

Christopher’s Downtown restaurant is on the lower level of the City Centre One building downtown, almost hiding from the general public.

Although the owners said that’s just part of the appeal.

“It’s definitely a hidden gem,” said Shawna Bonacci, who started the restaurant with her husband, Christopher.

The restaurant, previously occupied by a bar called End of the Tunnel, has been in business for one year since it opened on Dec. 4 last year. It’s also a place for downtown professionals looking for lunch or a drink after work, Shawna said.

“When we started it was little overwhelming,” Christopher said.

The owners said they’ve made some improvements in their first year.

“I think we’ve pinpointed with what our customers want,” Shawna said.
