LIVINGSTON, NJ — Mezza Mediterranean recently hosted a ribbon-cutting to celebrate its official opening at The Shoppes at the Livingston Circle at 277 Eisenhower Parkway in Livingston. This marks the first expansion for the popular restaurant, which also has a location in Westwood. Mezza Livingston occupies approximately 3,000 s/f at the 93,000 s/f shopping center, which is managed and developed by Eastman Companies. Jennifer Corrao and John Negri of Weichert Commercial Brokerage represented the tenant and Florian Suserman of Ripco NJ, leasing agent for the property, represented the landlord. “Livingston was ideal for us in terms of demographics, and although there is a lot of new business development in the area we didn’t see much in the way of competition,” said Vincent Leone, who, along with Yarden Levinson, is one of the owners behind Mezza Mediterranean’s success in Westwood. “We have worked well together as partners over the last five years and know what has and hasn’t worked in the past. We made sure to hit all of the key checkpoints before choosing this location.”
