Quincy commissioners approve liquor, restaurant and business-license requests for festival and local eateries
Summary
At their July 14 meeting, the City of Quincy commissioners approved a one-day liquor license for the Taste of Quincy festival, three one-day licenses tied to the tall-ship visit, a new restaurant license for a sushi spot at 1205 Hancock St., a full-liquor license for Angelina's Pizza, and a DBA name change for an Asian restaurant.
The City of Quincy commissioners on July 14 approved a slate of one-day and restaurant license requests, clearing permits for a summer festival, a tall-ship weekend, and several neighborhood restaurants.
Sharon Driscoll, executive director of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce, asked the board to grant a one-day liquor license for the Taste of Quincy Food Festival on Aug. 4 at the Best Western Adams Inn, 29 Hancock Street. Driscoll described the event as annual, said it typically includes about 20 vendors and local breweries, and said organizers expect a large local turnout. The board moved and approved the license without questions.
The board also approved three one-day liquor licenses requested by Terry D'Italia at 304 Victory Road for July 17–19, to coincide with the tall-ship visit to Marina Bay. Applicant Mario Casamassa told the commission the restaurant planned to rope off an outdoor area and serve a limited number of drinks; counsel had been consulted and raised no concerns.
A separate vote granted a common victualler (restaurant) license to Tenka Group LLC, doing business as Juni, for a sushi restaurant at 1205 Hancock Street (Suite B). The applicant said the space is about 635 square feet with seating for roughly 16 and an occupancy of about 25; the operators were described as having decades of restaurant experience. Councilor Jacobs provided a letter of support that was noted in the record. The license was approved by the board.
The commission approved a change in license category for Bricacci's LLC doing business as Angelina's Pizza at 1437 Hancock Street, moving the restaurant from a wine-and-malt license to an all-alcoholic-beverages license. The applicant said the change would help increase revenue amid rising costs and allow the business to remain open long-term; the board approved the request and noted Councilor McKee had been contacted and had no concerns.
Finally, the board approved a change to the doing-business-as name on the all-alcohol license for Asian Cafe Corp at 15 Beale Street to Somenya Udon (applicant also referenced the name Sungyeon Yudan Ji Wei Guan in remarks). The applicant said operations, hours and management would remain the same.
The commission accepted the minutes from the June 16 hearing, set the next hearing for Tuesday, Aug. 18, and then adjourned. No items were tabled for further study.
Votes at a glance: all listed items were moved, seconded and approved by the board during the meeting; the record shows aye responses and no recorded objections. Individual roll-call tallies were not included in the transcript.
