How about some positive news in this coronavirus restaurant storm?

Cossetta’s has finally started using the rotisserie that was installed when the complex was remodeled in 2014 and is offering rotisserie chickens and asiago roasted potatoes for takeout.

Owner Dave Cossetta said the restaurants and market were so busy before the virus hit that he hadn’t had the proper time to devote to developing and executing rotisserie recipes.

“We’re only running two things — the market and the eatery, so guess what? Dave has a lot of time on his hands,” Cossetta said.

They’re starting with chickens and potatoes tomorrow, but have recipes ready to go for turkey, porketta and chuck rolls using the eye of the chuck roast. There will eventually be a menu of roasted side items as well.

Cossetta said the pivot to takeout has been challenging, but he’s a planner, so it went fairly smoothly. The restaurant is offering its eatery menu for takeout and curbside pickup, which can be ordered online or over the phone. They are baking a limited amount of fresh bread for sale in the market, which is also open.
