A waterside Italian restaurant just north of Boston is now home to another Italian dining spot under new ownership.
According to a source, Café Rossetti in Winthrop has closed, with Facebook posts from the Winthrop Shore Drive spot saying the following:
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of Café Rossetti. For over 20 years, Café Rossetti has been sharing our family’s traditions with you all through our cuisine. We want to thank our family for joining us on this adventure and working alongside us to make our dreams come true....The chefs who have been cooking for you all for the past 15+ years at Café Rossetti did purchase the business and will be operating under a new name [Cafe Valenciano]....We wish the them the best of luck in continuing the same dedication to quality and hospitality that you've come to love.
The Facebook page does mention that locations of Rossetti Restaurant in Lynn and Beverly remain in operation, while the website for Cafe Valenciano indicates that the place will apparently remain much like the old Café Rossetti, saying that "Although the name will change, everything else will stay the same. The same love and care will stay here with us. Our chef and waitstaff will still remain as well as the menu."
The address for the now-closed Café Rossetti (and new Cafe Valenciano) is 115 Winthrop Shore Drive, Winthrop, MA, 02152. The website for Cafe Valenciano is at https://cafevalenciano.com/
