Media Credit: Lamar Salter / The Jambar Winslow's Cafe re-opened Monday morning after about a three-month hiatus.. The cafe now offers Italian dishes, free delivery and student discounts.

After months of construction, renovations and delays, Winslow's Cafe has reopened under new management by the Antone's Restaurant Group.

After closing before the fall semester began, the cafe - located inside the Butler Museum of American Art - was scheduled to reopen at different times in September and October.

Instead, the cafe opened its doors to the public Monday morning, completely overhauled. The cafe now contains two television sets, which air sports and news. Pictures of famous Italian dishes decorate the cafe's walls, while the banister that once held an assortment of coffees now displays a variety of unique sauces.

The menu has been changed dramatically, with new meal additions such as cavatelli and eggplant fires, an all-day breakfast option. Drinks offered include fountain beverages, coffee, tea and fruit juices. Other additions include a kids' menu and free delivery around the city.

Ross Scianna, a co-owner of the cafe, said the Antone's franchise has "always wanted to be at YSU."

"So when we saw the opportunity, we took it," Scianna said.

Student discounts and free Wi-Fi will be available. Additionally, while the cafe's hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Scianna said extended times may be available in the future.

"We're going to see how it goes first," Scianna said.
