Architect: Noted Restaurateur Leasing Main St. Space

Architect Rick Hoag, who is working on plans to renovate 38 Main St., former home of Bobby Q’s and Onion Alley, told the Planning and Zoning Commission tonight that noted restaurateur Sasa Mahr-Batuz has leased second floor space at the property for a “new concept” restaurant. He is the co-founder and creative director of Norwalk-based Barteca Restaurant Group, which includes the restaurant concepts Barcelona Wine Bar & Restaurant and bartaco. Hoag was appearing at a work session to seek approval for modification to exterior plans for the building. Several commission members objected that the plans were not in keeping with the Village District Overlay District intended to preserve downtown buildings. Nevertheless, the P&Z voted 5-2 to allow him to proceed with his application. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Real Estate Report: Some Exceptional Homes ‘Fall Below the Radar’

By Judy Szablak

Special to WestportNow

Sometimes great properties are overlooked for one reason or another, and in that respect, Westport is not unlike any other town.

A few exceptional homes just seem to fall “below the radar” for one reason or another.

This is more frequent than one could imagine, as snippet details from an online home searching source or an MLS feature printout do not necessarily tell the whole story about any given property.

In actuality, some would-be buyers may never even glimpse at a home’s photos because other characteristics don’t warrant a look.

Comings & Goings: Bar Lupa Opens

Bar Lupa, an Italian restaurant and bar, has opened at 1431 Post Road East in space formerly named Rustico Trattoria. It is co-owned by Miguel Angelo D’Onofrio, the former owner of Rustico Trattoria, who teamed up with Massimo Tabacco (above), to transform the eatery. According to Tabacco, a native of Rome, Italy, “We converted it to a Roman restaurant. Lupa is the symbol for the city of Rome. In addition to homemade pasta, meat and fish dishes we offer ‘stuzzichino,’ known better here as tapas. Miguel and I worked together 25 years ago at Columbus Park, Stamford. We were a good team—D’Onofrio as chef and me as the manager.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
