The owners of a restaurant in Andover are going to be closing the spot and replacing it with a new Italian eatery after the space goes through renovations.
An email sent to us by the owners indicates that Andolini's will be opening on Essex Street sometime in the middle of the summer, taking over the spot where Glory has been for the past 12 years. According to the email, Glory had become more of a special occasion restaurant, which apparently prompted the idea of a change to a casual Italian restaurant that will likely be more of an everyday spot. The renovations to the space will include white-washed brick, custom wood tables, a fireplace, and a 20-seat bar.
Once it opens, Andolini's will feature such dishes as mozzarella with roasted peppers, bruschetta, thin-crust New York-style pizza, spaghetti tomato basil, spicy zuppa di pesce, and veal chop parmigiana. An all-Italian wine list will also be offered.
The executive chef at Andolini's (Brian Doyle) comes from Mama Maria in the North End of Boston, and is currently working with well-known chef and restaurant owner Michael Schlow.
[August 1 update: According to their Facebook page, Andolini's is now open for business. It will be open Tuesday through Sunday in August.]
The address for this new Italian restaurant in Andover is: Andolini's, 19 Essex Street, Andover, MA, 01810.
