Bartolotta's in Franklin?

I’d sure love to see a Bartolotta’s restaurant open in Franklin. I’m sure many of you would, too.
However, I’m not very optimistic.
It appears Joe Bartolotta has his sights set elsewhere.
The Journal/Sentinel reports Bartolotta has submitted one of three development proposals for surplus land at State Fair Park.
• Bartolotta Dinner Theater, proposed by Milwaukee restaurateur Joe Bartolotta. The 42,000-square-foot facility would accommodate 600 patrons and include catering and banquet facilities. The theater would feature five different productions each year, with each showing running about 10 weeks. Tickets would range from about $45 to $85 for dinner and a show.
If the State Fair Park Board doesn’t pick Bartolotta’s, how about wooing Joe B. here? If not a dinner theater, I’d be more than happy with a new Bartolotta’s restaurant.
Recruiting Bartolotta’s would be a worthwhile project for the city’s economic development folks and certain developers in need of tenants.
