At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions and the posted minutes; names may be misheard.
- What: Olives Hospitality, LLC asked to take over the Nuovo restaurant at 92 Shrewsbury Street: transfer of the restaurant all-alcohol license from Brick House, LLC (dba Nuovo), a common victualer license and an entertainment license.
- Where it stands: all three approved 3-0 on 2026-07-23.
- Next: the buyer said he expects to take over after about August 15 without closing; the state ABCC still has to approve the liquor transfer.
The applicant
- Arber Gozhina (captioned "Arbor Gina"), a former Nuovo employee, said he would become general manager.
- Plans: keep the restaurant largely as is, make pasta in-house, and keep the upstairs for private parties only.
Police caution
- Thomas Needham noted the requested entertainment (dancing, floor shows, light shows, theatrical exhibition, karaoke) combined with alcohol service would call for a nightclub designation.
- He told the applicant to concentrate on being a restaurant. The applicant said there would be no nightclub.
