GREENE – The manager of Nathanael Greene’s Publick House, Eric Sculley, has saved a comment card that he is particularly proud of.

“A great addition to the downtown business district and will become an anchor for what Greene is, and a sign of growth for the whole community and the surrounding area,” the card states. Sculley plans to have it framed.

The Genesee Street restaurant and pub will have its grand opening today and Sculley said the business has already gotten rave reviews. The manager said the food, decor and social atmosphere is very much a product of the owners, Enzo and Irene Olivieri, being good listeners.

“They listened to the community and this is something the community said they needed very much. They decided to go ahead with the concept and the creation,” Sculley said. The result is a downtown establishment that offers a traditional menu of Americana fare, along with a pub that serves an extensive top shelf selection of liquor, wine and beer.
