Jewett Construction to build second location for Ricetta’s Brick Oven Ristorante in Saco, ME

Saco, ME Ricetta’s Brick Oven Ristorante, a family-owned Italian pizzeria based in Southern Maine, has selected Jewett Construction to manage the construction of a second location. Ricetta’s is known for their family recipes, a family-friendly atmosphere, and locally-sourced ingredients. Jewett is thrilled to be managing their expansion. 

“We are honored to be partnering with such a respected business in the Southern Maine area, and we know that this will be a great addition to the Saco community,” said Jon Sirois, general manager of Maine operations at Jewett.

This project will focus on transforming the old Kerryman’s Irish Pub facility on Rte. 1 into a new Italian eatery. The existing facility will see interior and exterior demolition work to accommodate a new architectural style throughout. Exterior treatments will include new cedar board and batten siding, a wooden trellis entry feature, and accent lighting along pedestrian walkways. A new kitchen design will create space for two of Ricetta’s signature brick oven fixtures along with other modern equipment throughout. 

Demolition work has begun and construction is scheduled for final completion by the end of Summer 2019.
