A New, Transformational Entertainment District

in Downtown Lima

Exciting new restaurants, bold entertainment options, and dynamic office space. Spring & Main Lima represents a daring new vision for nearly 36,000 square feet of historic buildings in Downtown Lima.  Connecting Town Square with the new Greater Lima Region Amphitheater, Spring & Main will transform Downtown Lima’s long-neglected southeast quadrant into a regional hub of entertainment and culture.

Reviving a Legacy in Downtown Lima

The crown jewel of Spring & Main, 147 S. Main Street was built as the home of Blattner’s Department Store in 1926. A product of Lima’s boomtown heyday, the nearly 26,000 square foot building was a regional hub for shopping and a gathering place for the local community before slowing falling into disrepair with the decline of Lima’s downtown in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Now, nearly 100 years later, 147 S. Main, along with several surrounding historic buildings, will be revived once again into an exciting regional destination for leisure and entertainment.

Classic Italian American

Classic red-sauce Italian in downtown Lima.

nonno’s cellar

A tribute to Good Food Restaurants founder John Heaphy’s grandfather (Nonno in Italian). In 1918, Marco Sciortino arrived at Ellis Island from Palermo, Sicily with little else but hope and a desire to pursue his vision of the American Dream: a family to love and celebrate life with, a good job, a nice garden, and a modest house with a cellar. In Lima, Nonno found all those things. His cellar- filled with mason jars of the summer harvest and fresh tomato sauce- was a place of love, fun and warmth, where family gatherings and celebrations were enjoyed. Join us below Casa Lu Al to enjoy the warm hospitality of Nonno’s Cellar.

tacos, cocktails, rooftop bar

Fun, funky, and always casual. Vista Taco brings the anything-goes excitement of the contemporary taco and tequila scene to downtown Lima. Enjoy your new favorite taco creation, sip on our extensive collection of Tequila and Mezcal, or try our from-scratch margaritas. Any time of year you’ll love our eclectic-chic dining room housed in the historic 113 E. Spring Street building; but in the warmer months, step up (and out) onto Lima’s premier rooftop patio for the ultimate outdoor taco party.
