Batali Restaurant Planned For Park Street

A storefront that has been vacant for seven years may soon house the latest outpost of Mario Batalis restaurant empire.

The Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group intends to open a Tarry Lodge restaurant at 278 Park St., according to Lauren Zucker, Yale’s director of New Haven affairs. Yale holds a long-term lease on the property, which is owned by St. Thomas More.

Speaking at a Board of Zoning Appeals meeting Tuesday night at 200 Orange St., Zucker said the restaurant group hopes to open the family friendly” pizzeria, which has locations in Westport and in Port Chester, N.Y, as quickly as possible once it’s approved. Joshua Cohen, the lawyer representing the proposal, asked the board to grant special exceptions for a liquor license, which he said would be used only for restaurant service, and to allow the restaurant to add no new parking.

The board sent the proposal to the City Plan Commission for review, and plans to vote on it next month.
