Italian restaurant Est! Est!! Est!!! has closed its doors at the Dayton Arcade, and Table 33 has announced it will move into the space.
Located at 45 W. Fourth St. in the Arcade’s Commercial and Fourth Street buildings, Est! Est!! Est!!! closed July 20.
Yesterday, the Dayton Arcade said Table 33 will open in the fall. It will retain its menu with breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner options.
The restaurant’s interior will undergo a transformation. Table 33 was originally planning to open in the Arcade’s Kuhns Building at the corner of Fourth and Main Streets, but was able to shift its restaurant development to the newly available restaurant space, the Arcade said.
Table 33 was previously located on West Second Street where it recently closed to prepare for the move.

A new restaurant serving pizza, subs and more has opened in the former spot of Paisano’s Pizza Pub in Old North Dayton.
Christine Fowler, who owns 201 Tavern with her husband, Shante, said she has always wanted to own her own restaurant/bar.
Fowler had been working at the post office for about 12 years when the opportunity to open a restaurant came about. She said she is friends with the Condi family, who previously owned and operated Paisano’s Pizza Pub for more than 50 years. The restaurant had closed in September 2023.
The restaurant, located at 201 Brandt St., has been completely remodeled from the bar top that once contained boxing trading cards to the ceiling that was covered in boxer names.
201 Tavern serves thin and crispy, square-cut pizzas, subs, wraps, salads and a variety of appetizers like hot pepper cheese cubes, seasoned potato wedges, fried mushrooms and wings.
I recommend trying the Chrissy’s Pizza (pictured above) topped high with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green olives, banana peppers and extra cheese.

Ghostlight Coffee has closed its location at the intersection of Patterson Boulevard and Stout Street in Dayton.
“We are deeply saddened to announce the closure of our Ghostlight Midtown,” said founder Shane Anderson. “Balancing the stability of the business with pressing family medical issues has made it necessary for us to simplify our lives, leading to this difficult decision.”
Anderson opened the Midtown location at 800 S. Patterson Blvd. in Nov. 2019 after operating Ghostlight’s original location in Dayton’s Historic South Park neighborhood for eight years.
Ghostlight’s original location at 1201 Wayne Ave. remains open, as well as its bagel shop and bakery at 2nd Street Market and its coffee, cocktails and small plates restaurant at the Dayton Arcade.
