Montelupo says, “Focaccia?” We say, “Oh heck ya.”
The Italian restaurant on Northeast 28th Avenue, known for its fresh pasta and provisions to-go, is moving ahead with plans for a second location in Sellwood.
As soon as August, the aroma of freshly baked bread will waft along Southeast Bybee Boulevard, drawing shoppers into a market roughly the same size (and selling similar fare) as the original. It can be hard to resist loading your tote bag with take-home lasagna, imported olive oil, pastries, beer, and wine.
On site, the hungry shall not want, with Roman-style pizzas, focaccia sandwiches, salads, and appetizers rounding out the in-house menu. When it does open, daily hours will be 11 a.m.-7 p.m.
