Il Pittore on the move?
Filed Under: Food News
Chris Painter, chef and culinary director for Stephen Starr, recently dropped us a few details on his Italian restaurant Il Pittore, set to take over the old Ansill space at Third and Bainbridge. Yesterday, we got an interesting tip that Painter and Co. no longer planned to open the restaurant at that address, but we were unable to confirm as much with SRO. It's more of the same today — while we hear there's been some internal discussion regarding whether the Ansill space is the proper fit for Painter's concept (casual/authentic, built around oven-roasted meats and housemade pastas), no official decision has been made to move the restaurant as of right now. (Painter is currently on a research trip in Italy.) Interesting! More interesting is The Insider's tease earlier today that another location ("a beaut") has entered the fray. Keep ya posted.
It also looks like the building has over $23,000 in liens on it for unpaid city taxes dating back to 2007. Do a property search at the BRT website for 627 S 3rd. and then click "view tax balances" on the page that comes up.
