Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This is a well-established restaurant business opportunity situated in Old Wethersfield. The business sale includes a monthly NNN lease of $5,000; the real estate is not included. The operation occupies approximately 825 square feet on the main level, configured for efficient front and back-of-house workflow. An upper-level area, estimated at roughly half the main-level footprint, is used for prep-work, bread production, and storage. The business specializes in authentic, from-scratch Italian cooking, with an established menu featuring Italian deli sandwiches served on house-made bread baked fresh daily, along with pizza, classic Italian comfort foods, daily specials, and prepared meals to go, supporting both dine-in and takeout demand. The space was extensively renovated in 2018, resulting in a modernized build-out and updated infrastructure. The restaurant is fully equipped, and all major equipment is owned outright and included in the sale. Equipment highlights include a Marsal double-deck pizza oven, Empura three-door commercial refrigerator/freezer, gas range, flat-top grill, deep fryer, extensive stainless-steel prep surfaces, commercial sinks, shelving, and dedicated prep and storage areas. It is well suited for an owner-operator or experienced restaurateur seeking an established operation.
