Pack up your Mardi Gras beads and order another round of beignet because Poor House Bistro soon will be on the move. The downtown San Jose eatery, which has been serving up New Orleans-style dishes a short walk from SAP Center, is heading to the Little Italy district later this summer.

Poor House owner Jay Meduri said Wednesday he’d just signed a lease to open the restaurant, which will be renamed Famiglia Meduri’s Poor House Bistro in honor of its new home between Henry’s Hi-Life and the under-construction Italian Cultural Center and Museum on St. John Street. “It’s a different journey than I ever expected,” said Meduri, who opened Poor House in 2005. “I think my grandparents would have liked the idea, and I think having the backing of Little Italy adds to it.”
