SOUTHINGTON â A Wolcott restaurateur is readying a food truck for a seasonal spot on Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike where heâll offer steak sandwiches, hamburgers, salads and his own relish.
Marty DiVitoâs request for permission to set up on his own land prompted town officials to consider rules on food trucks.
DiVito got permission from the Zoning Board of Appeals this winter to set up his food truck for one year. Usually food trucks are looking for permission to set up at a festival or other event and board chairwoman Alicia Novi said there wasnât really a category for what DiVito was doing.
