Falletti's Update

From this week's Tablehopper,

After what seems like an interminable amount of waiting and construction delays, at last, the Falletti's Foods project at Broderick Place (Broderick and Oak Streets) is looking close. How close? If all goes well, they're looking at a September launch. The Fallettis lost their lease in 1999 from their original location at the old Petrini Plaza on Fulton and Masonic, and the neighborhood wanted them to stay. Falletti's Foods will pick up where they left off, offering a quality grocery store highlighting top-end produce and a 40-foot long counter at their butcher shop. Tick Falletti and his two sons, Dominic and Jamie, will run the family business. (In case you're wondering about the name Tick, like I was, he liked clocks when he was a kid so he became Tick Tock—as time went on, he eventually lost the "tock." Is that the cutest thing or what?) The size will be similar to Mollie Stone's on California, a size that is best-situated for more of a European and old-fashioned concept of buying what you need for today and tomorrow, and not the entire week. There will also be a Peet's Coffee with seats in the courtyard, and a café for casual dining for lunch and dinner (and possibly breakfast? TBD!) that will hopefully be able to offer outdoor sidewalk seating. They are currently seeking an operator for the café—Pascal Rigo had originally considered moving in, but it was going to have too much crossover with the other star tenant, which will be the delicious DeLessio!
