The prime restaurant in downtown Ferndale is a step closer to being reopened.

Como's Italian restaurant was recently sold for a little over $3 million, according to local news reports.

Crain's reported on Thursday that county land records reveal that the restaurant, near Nine Mile and Woodward, was sold to Peas & Carrots for $3.07 million, which is down from the original $4 million listing price that was set.

The Bloomfield-Hill based hospitality group first announced it plans to buy the restaurant building earlier this month.

Como's, which was a popular spot in downtown Ferndale, was placed on the market in January after it was closed due to food safety violations. However, Peas & Carrots has plans to revive the restaurant with the same name and pizza-centric menu.

Peas & Carrots also owns Social Kitchen & Bar in Birmingham and Grand Rapids, Mex and Beau's Grillery in Bloomfield Hills, and a restaurant in Chicago. The Como's revival will be its 13th restaurant opening in six years.

Como's is planning to open pop-ups later this summer and could reopen in 2019, according to Crain's.
