After four decades in the publishing business in New York City, I was trepidatious about leaving the city for full-time living upstate. As an enthusiastic home cook, avid entertainer, adventurous restaurant diner and regular boozer, I thought I was leaving culinary heaven behind when my husband and I moved to Saratoga Springs in 2019: a cheese and charcuterie shop on my Manhattan corner, arguably the world’s best spice store (Kalyustan’s) a few subway stops away, bars and restaurants galore (pre-pandemic, obviou

SARATOGA SPRINGS The owner of one popular Italian restaurant is taking the owner of another to court.
Daniel Petrosino, owner of Osteria Danny in Saratoga Springs, on Monday sued James Rua and Henry Street Properties, which owns the building that houses Osteria Danny. Rua is also owner of the long-running Cafe Capriccio in Albany.
Petrosino, in legal papers filed in state Supreme Court in Saratoga County, claims Rua misused earmarked rent payments and then refused to sell him the building, as stipulated in the lease agreement.

A lawsuit between a pair of chef-proprietors who have been friends for more than 35 years potentially threatens the future of
Osteria Danny, a popular Spa City restaurant for upscale Italian fare.
Open since early 2016 under veteran chef-owner Danny Petrosino, Osteria Danny occupies 26 Henry St. The downtown building, two blocks off Broadway, for the prior five years was home to Capriccio Saratoga, a northern sibling of
Cafe Capriccio in Albany, which next year will celebrate its 40
th anniversary. Jim Rua, founder and owner of Café Capriccio, bought 26 Henry St. to open Capriccio Saratoga and started leasing it to Petrosino when Osteria Danny launched.

The latest restaurant to decide to take a pause from dine-in service as winter drags on and the rollout of the coronavirus vaccines proceeds more slowly than projected is The Olde Bryan Inn in Saratoga Springs. It
announcedMonday (1/18) that it will continue takeout/delivery on a Tuesday-through-Sunday schedule, but the dining room will be closed “for the remainder of the month of January.”
In Albany, New World Bistro Bar, which closed its dining room in early November, had remained open for takeout/delivery and market fare through the holidays. As of this week (1/18), however, New World is now fully closed for more than a month. Owner Annette Nanes tells me she hopes to reopen in early March.
