The former Cassano's Italian kitchen restaurant on Waterstreet has been relaunched into Beppo Uno Pizzeria & Trattoria, complete with a new exterior sign greeting the bustle of customers to the eatery daily.
Despite the name change, the ownership of the restaurant remains the same as it has been for 43 years, Gerard and Darla Williamson. Prior to the change, the restaurant was the lone franchisee of the Dayton-based Cassano's pizza chain, and while the Williamsons don't plan on changing the menu from their Cassano's based fare, small tweaks and changes may be noticed by longtime customers.
This is not the first time the restaurant has relaunched. Less than five years ago, the small one room pizzeria expanded into the full service Italian restaurant and patio it is today, complete with the demolition of a neighboring structure for additional parking, parking that on any given weekend night is packed to capacity.
With the new name, the restaurant has also created a new phone number for customers at (937) 773-6482.

MCP has confirmed that the Miami County Coroners office has ruled that the unexpected death of 8 month old Caleb Durig was indeed a homicide.
The story began on Monday afternoon, when the victim's mother contacted 911 to report her son's untimely death in their East troy apartment. After an initial investigation, Troy Police arrested both parents on charges of Child Endangering, but waited for results from the Coroners office to further their investigation.
According to information from the Coroner obtained by MCP, the victim sustained multiple blunt force traumas, causing death.
This is the second murder in Troy this year, with 22 year old Brandon Haskins shot dead in an apparent domestic disturbance on Troy's West Side earlier on July 8.
As of Tuesday afternoon, no additional charges have been pressed on the parents.
