According to a press release, Italian Cafe Gelato is planning to open at West of Chestnut, which is a luxury apartment complex by the corner of Chestnut Street and Cottage Avenue, behind Hancock Street on the eastern edge of the downtown area. The release says that the eatery--whose co-owner Denise Santini also runs Casa Razdora in downtown Boston--will offer artisan gelato along with salads, sandwiches, pastries, and coffee. (The other two owners are Giancarlo Baldini and Daniele Buzza.) If all goes as planned, Italian Cafe Gelato could be opening in January of 2017.
Three other dining spots are opening at West of Chestnut as well--Shaking Crab, KKatie's Burger Bar, and Fuji.
The website for the West of Chestnut development can be found at http://www.wocquincy.com/ (there doesn't appear to be a website yet for Italian Cafe Gelato).
