Canelli’s is a new Italian restaurant that’s under construction at 7 Exchange St (photo). As part of their liquor license application, they’ve submitted a draft menu (see page 51) and floor plan (see page 50). The cover letter (see page 37) from the owners states that they ran a 150 seat Italian restaurant in Medfield, MA for 8 years. “Our plan is to offer good Italian food, a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, reasonable and affordable prices, and become the spot where the people in the area want to come.”

According to a report in The Forecaster the Red’s Dairy Freeze building is going to be demolished and owner hopes to eventually rebuild. Red’s was seriously damaged by fire earlier this year.

Code Enforcement Officer Patricia Doucette said the owner of Red’s has obtained a city permit to demolish the popular, soft-serve ice cream shop that was scorched by an early morning electrical fire on May 16.

Doucette said owner Chris Bolling indicated he would raze all but two ground layers of concrete and rebuild on the existing foundation. The permit, issued last week, is good for six months, she said.

A sign in the window at 7 Exchange Street is announcing a new Italian restaurant called Canelli’s “Fantastic Food at Fantastic Prices!” that’s under construction. If that address sounds familiar it may be because last Spring it was the site a construction site for Wasabi, a sushi restaurant that never launched. A source tells me that Canelli’s is being opened by a Boston area couple who ran a similar restaurant in Massachusetts for many years.
Just up the street from Canelli’s is the construction site for another Italian restaurant, G’Vanni’s which is going in at the old Walter’s space.

There’s been a new restaurant under construction for a few weeks over at 437 Congress Street at the former location of GRO Cafe.

Info on the Guitar Grave (Mike’s neighbor and owner) website promises “a small menu of fast, inexpensive and delicious items as well as luncheon and drink specials”.
