CELEBRATE SPRING’S ARRIVAL WITH BRUNCH IS IN BLOOM AT ENZO

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 3/17/25

Live Jazz, Seasonal Brunch Bites, and a Patio Party with Bloody Marys & Mimosas

Saturday, March 22, 2025, 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.

 Spring at ENZO Steakhouse & Bar arrives with a rhythm all its own. On Saturday, March 22, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., the restaurant’s expansive patio becomes the backdrop for Brunch is in Bloom, a spirited mid-day gathering filled with seasonal Italian flavors, live jazz, and a Bloody Mary and mimosa bar built for mixing things up.

The menu is as lively as the setting—freshly baked bread, zesty orange pastries, and whipped fraiche set the tone before Eggs in Purgatory brings a slow-simmered punch of Pomodoro, ricotta, and basil. The star of the show? La Carbonara, twirled tableside from the Parmesan wheel, with crispy guanciale, pecorino, and a peppery bite. For the main event, choose between Steak & Eggs or Chicken and Waffles, because no spring brunch should feel like a compromise. With live jazz setting the pace, guests can sip on handcrafted cocktails, Italian wines, or build their own perfect pour at the Bloody Mary and mimosa bar.


Tickets are $55 per person, excluding tax and gratuity, and include all food and two drinks. Seating is limited, and reservations are recommended. For more details and to purchase tickets visit enzo-itl.com. ENZO Steakhouse & Bar is located at 300 Trilith Pkwy, Suite 230, Fayetteville, GA 30214, in the Town at Trilith. Follow along on Instagram and Facebook at @enzoitl.
