Florabella

There’s a new Italian restaurant on Brooks Street in Missoula at the site of the old Caffe Dolce. Business partners Ben Burda and Drake Doepke have remodeled the building at 500 Brooks Street and have now opened it as Florabella. They’ll be serving up coffee, lunch, dinner and dessert along with a large wine menu. Their chefs will be preparing entrees like ravioli with egg yolk, fried sage, burnt butter and lemon ricotta.

Silixa, a Missoula-based geosciences technology company, has been awarded grant funding through the State of Montana Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund program to spur growth.

The company was notified recently that Missoula County would receive $55,000 to assist Silixa in creating 11 net new jobs over the next two years.

    Wonderful new venue for Missoula. Great food, atmosphere and service. (Emily is outstanding!). New bar is going to be the place to meet and greet. Cafe will be a great place to sample their intense coffee and home baked bread which is amazing. Thanks to Ben and Drake for making Missoula even better.
