Greek restaurant will take over former Ko.an space in Cary

• The opening will come just weeks after the group opened its most recent business in Raleigh, the European-inspired Giorgios Epicurean Market.
• Giorgios now has more than a dozen restaurants stretching from Chapel Hill to Wilmington, including Kipos in Chapel Hill, East End Bistrot in Raleigh and Vin Rouge in Durham.

Details: Naos' menu will be curated by Kevin Draper of Bin 54 in Chapel Hill and Alex Ricci, previously the head of Prospects Craft Kitchen in Raleigh, which closed this summer.

• The Giorgios Group described the menu as combining ancient Greek traditions with modern cooking styles. It will include a rotating cast of vegetable-focused small plates and a focus on fresh seafood, lamb and slow-braised dishes cooked in traditional clay pots.

Zoom in: Naos will take over a 10,000-square-foot space at 2800 Renaissance Park Place in Cary, previously home to the upscale Asian eatery Ko.an, which closed last year.

• Prior to that, the building was home to An Asian Cuisine, which was owned by SAS CEO Jim Goodnight and his wife, Ann Goodnight.
