DalMoros Fresh Pasta To Go opens near University of Florida
DalMoros Fresh Pasta To Go brought a taste of Italy to Alachua County with its grand opening Feb. 19. DalMoros offers a wide selection of pastas and house-made sauces prepared from scratch, with each dish served in the restaurant’s signature to-go boxes. Customers can customize their meals with a variety of toppings, protein options and garlic breadsticks. The menu also features Italian sandwiches, tiramisu and gluten-free choices. Ordering at DalMoros is different from the traditional experience at other pasta restaurants in town. Customers start by choosing their pasta shape — fusilli, rigatoni, fettuccine or bigoli — before selecting from 10 homemade sauces, including a rotating monthly special. Guests can also watch the restaurant’s pasta machine produce fresh pasta throughout the day. Jackson Zheng, 26, general manager of the Gainesville DalMoros location, said he recommends the restaurant’s best-selling dishes, Bolognese and Mama Rosa, to first-time customers.

Echoes of history, bold new flavors at The Dunbar in Gainesville
Inside the historic Dunbar Hotel — now The Dunbar restaurant — the lobby once again hums with the chatter and laughter of guests. From the 1930s through the 1950s, The Dunbar, 732 NW Fourth St., was the only hotel in Gainesville that welcomed Black travelers. Today, the space is home to a Black‑owned restaurant led by siblings Jessica Johnson and Shelton Seraphin, along with their uncle, Widlyn Rodney Germain. The trio also own Germain’s, a nearby fried chicken restaurant. The family is originally from West Palm Beach. Seraphin moved to Gainesville eight years ago, working in photography, branding and graphic design before coming up with the idea for Germain’s. His sister Jessica followed soon after to study interior architecture at the University of Florida. Other family members later made the move as well. Soon after opening Germain's, they learned the building shared a landlord with The Dunbar. They eyed the former hotel for years, just a short walk away, before deciding to pursue a second restaurant. For Johnson, it felt like fate. “Every time we tried to push it away, this building would always come back up…I think it was meant to be,” she said. Now, Johnson manages both restaurants.
