Maestro’s at the Van Dam restaurant on
Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs
closed in November, but its owner is opening
a restaurant in the spring at the McGregor
Links Country Club.
Maestro’s At McGregor has retained the
services of chef Mike Pietrocola who will
take over the helm at the new location,
scheduled to open in late March, according
to owner Bill Donovan.
Pietrocola has been executive chef at the
Mohawk Golf Club in Schenectady. He will
be chef and director of food and beverage
services at Maestro’s.
“When we closed Maestro’s, we did not expect
to reopen,” said Donovan. “The Adelphi
Group was not interested in the Maestro’s
brand, so we maintained ownership of the
name and all branded items, including things
such as signs, menu covers, the website, and
the Facebook page. We thought someone in
a start-up situation might be interested in
purchasing the brand.”
