Operations and negotiations behind the lowered shutters. The innkeeper takes over Arman, Comand becomes a member of St. Thomas. St. Vitus, the Canevon will be reborn. Bistro wave, Tagliabue “giap”
TREVISO. The premises are almost all closed – and even those who take away have been struggling for some time, by changing the colors the discouragement does not change – but the appearance should not be deceiving. Behind the lowered shutters of the city yet another turnover is underway, which in the middle of the red zone takes on the contours of the near future, that of the post Covid or in any case of a summer-autumn that insiders already consider the basis of the restart to leave the nightmare of the pandemic behind. The refreshments were crumbs, the losses were enormous during 2020 and the first quarter of 2021 was practically never born. In this context, those who have strength and resources try to build the future.
It is the case of Stefano Zanotto, Mr. Arman. He’s about to find the square of his ticket Arman -Terrazza San Tomaso next to the historic door. In via Manzoni he reached an agreement with the owners – the heirs of the legendary Ettorina – to acquire the walls. Therefore, he does not leave Stefano, the historic “creature” he has been managing since 2003 and who will come of age under his guidance in a few months. Moreover, next year, the tavern will be “only” 150 years old. And at the door San Tomaso, by the staff, will enter into partnership with him Giovanni Comand, at odds it seems equal. Internal solution, when three entrepreneurs in the sector had already come forward to take over.
Another protagonist of this phase is undoubtedly Luca De Checchi, which carries on the family business, founded with his grandfather in 1949, and which has created a chain of 14 places including cafes, bakeries and bars in the city and in the hinterland. The rumor has it that it dreams of a new central format, with the resale of wines in the Calmaggiore area. But in the meantime, before the summer, together with Paolo Venturato e Francesco Farinon (better known as “Faina”), wants to relaunch Basil 13 in Piazza San Vito, in the footsteps of the ancient Canevon which marked the years of the center at the turn of the 70s and 80s. Back to the future.
The excitement also spreads near the Duomo. There is talk of a Venetian restaurant that he would set his sights on Th.oB – former Rione Fontana – at the corner of via Cornarotta, for a trendy restaurant specialized in fish. Negotiation in progress, also here to open before the summer.
And once again, the big names take the lead. Mario Tagliabue is about to inaugurate its new challenge in viale Montegrappa, Enjoy Jap, where there was the Galliano pizzeria. Paolo Lai just detected it Shiraz of piazzetta Trentin from Roby Torresan (in turn ready to land in Fuerteventura), and has transformed the brewery ai Shower heads in Proseccheria. He wants to remodel the chain of his premises, which will soon touch him Shiraz, and perhaps not only.
Denis Mistro, on the other hand, he initiated his hypermarket of the former Metalcrom, on the Terraglio Mistrò, pun between himself and the Bistro.
More and more a scenario of chains and networks looms – see also the recent expansion of Burici by Michele Pozzebon – destined to dominate the sector, with differently modulated proposals.
But there are also those who relaunch the challenges of southern flavors – many in recent times, not all of them successful – and arrive in commercial spaces that have been closed for some time. This is the case ofAl.Ma – bistro of Neapolitan flavors – announced by the signs posted on the corner of via Inferiore and via Bailo. And it’s not over yet: we are talking about operations along the Sile and outside the walls.
