Panzano Provviste e Vino Opens

From the creators of Tomasso Trattoria & Enoteca A New Tuscan Market and Wine Shop

Southborough, MA, September 5, 2006 -- Panzano Provviste e Vino (Provisions & Wine) fulfills a dream for owner Tom Prince and partner, co-founder, and wine director Lorenzo Savona of having an Italian market and wine shop. Now the great wines, and foods from the Tomasso kitchen are available to take home.(www.panzanomarket.com)  www.tomassotrattoria.com). Tomasso Trattoria, the cuisine of executive chef Tony Bettencourt, and the innovative wine list have all received many press accolades and awards of distinction since opening 2 years ago.   

"For an authentic Italian restaurant, like Tomasso, to also own its own market and wine shop with the finest wines and foods of Italy, is a first in New England and probably the U.S.," said Savona.   

Panzano combines the best of the specialty shops you find all over the small towns in Italy.  "Panzano is a first class wine shop, pasta shop, butcher shop, bakery, small café/sandwich shop, and specialty grocer all in one," said Prince.
