Licari's owners shared the news last December they'd be relocating to 3123 Leonard St. NE and transforming their current location on Knapp into a new concept. The Leonard St. location is the former home of Gus's Original.

They released the below rendering at the time, saying, "Our Grand Rapids location is moving!... We've acquired the property at 3123 Leonard St. NE... Get ready for an enhanced experience with expanded dining and bar areas, event space, outdoor seating, and even a bocce court!"

The new Licari's on Leonard is open as of Sept. 27, 2024. 

As far as the Knapp location, the owners said their vision is to transform it into "a more refined concept, featuring a curated menu and innovative cocktails." Sept. 15 was the last day of service at Licari's on Knapp.

Licari's also has a location in Hudsonville.
