Board approves first consideration to add liquor licenses for Sorella Italian at Tower Drive
Summary
On first consideration the board approved adding a Class A and Class H liquor license to allow Sorella Italian (market/café) at 1941 Tower Drive; applicant Mario Weber described the restaurant/market concept and ties to Glenview.
The board approved on first consideration an ordinance to increase Glenview's Class A liquor licenses from 60 to 61 and Class H licenses from 7 to 8 to allow Sorella Italian to operate at 1941 Tower Drive.
Village staff explained a Class A license permits on-premises alcohol service at a bona fide eating establishment and a Class H license allows limited packaged sales (often bottles of wine) on the premises. The applicant, Mario Weber, described Sorella (an Italian market and café modeled on his Long Grove location), said the business will offer prepared foods, pizza, house-made gelato and a wine display for purchase, and called the project a personal "homecoming."
Trustees asked brief questions and welcomed the applicant; Trustee DeBoni moved approval and Trustee Bland seconded. The board approved the item on first consideration by voice vote. The transcript does not record the ordinance number; later procedural steps (second consideration/adoption) would follow statutory notice and readings.
The first-consideration approval increases the village's count of Class A and Class H licenses and clears the way for any required follow-up hearings or second readings.
