The restaurant has been refreshed with paintings by Kira Fercho and the addition of new bar seating and a chef’s counter. Enzo translates from Italian as owner of an estate, and was originally named after the eldest son of then co-owners Laurent and Patricia Zirotti. The restaurant later owned the restaurant scene in Billings for over 20 years. Former owner James Honaker, who founded the restaurant with the Zirottis, became the sole proprietor of Bistro Enzo after the couple left in 2008 to open their own restaurant, Fleur de Sel in Post Falls, Idaho. Ten months ago, Tyler Samson purchased the restaurant from Honaker, who wanted to retire.
