“We look at Lynn as our home,” Torretta said. Rossetti has operated his Winthrop namesake restaurant for 10 years and said he looked around the North Shore for a second location before settling on Lynn. He picked the city, in part, because it is fairly close to Winthrop, making it easy for suppliers and employees to move between his two eateries. The City Council in April approved Rossetti’s plans to move downtown and the Off Street Parking Commission in March voted to change the entrance to the 115-space Andrew Street city parking lot from Andrew to Sutton Street at the corner of Liberty Street. “I’m surprised how many Lynn people have eaten at your restaurant in Winthrop,” City Council President Timothy Phelan told Rossetti as he toured the Sutton Street building Monday with Councilor at large Gordon “Buzzy” Barton. Torretta said D’Amici’s will rely on short-term parking on Sutton and other streets to allow bakery customers to park and run into the bakery for food. Rossetti called the parking lot entrance change “essential” to providing his future diners with parking feet away from Rossetti’s front door.
“Rossetti’s will offer the residents of Lynn and the North Shore quality dining, and will help fortify downtown Lynn as a destination,” Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy said Monday. Thor Jourgensen can be reached at tjourgensen@itemlive.com. |
