Hot From The Kettle ®
This just in! 71 Walnut St., at the corner of Grove St., has become the site of Panzano Pizzeria - Trattoria.
Zuchette's Pizzeria had operated at the location for the past 35 years.
In addition to Panzano, we could expect to see the opening of Tuscany Restaurant at the former Valley Road site of Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
The newest addition to Church Street, Cupcakes by Carousel, hosted their ribbon cutting ceremony this afternoon. Mayor Jerry Fried, photographer Phil Cantor, Dick Grabowsky, and the Cupcakes by Carousel family, including co-owners Nancy Finkelstein, Howy Lefkowitz, and David Finkelstein were in attendance. Truman the Dinosaur also made a special guest appearance.
Inside the sweet shop, guests enjoyed mini cupcakes, cake pops, coffee, and cappuccino.
Brazilian fare has come to Montclair! After months of preparation, Samba Montclair, hosted it’s soft opening last night. Since opening the space at 7 Park St., exactly one year ago, as Park St. Gourmet, owner, 30-year-old, Ilson Goncalves, who trained with the acclaimed Zod Arifai, has developed a loyal following, some of which came out last night as “followers” of Ilson.
Samba seamlessly blends the old with the new, resulting in a warm, intimate, amd elegantly simplistic atmosphere. Many of the windows and cabinets are reclaimed, the copper and silver antiques decorate the walls and counters, and most notably, the tables are set with cloth napkins topped with mixed-and-matched silver plated antique flatware. Charming!
