The family that runs Leo's Ristorante, at rear, has sold the Leo's building and the three-story building in the foreground that includes the bar The Pint.
The family that's long run Leo's Ristorante has sold the site of its restaurant off Shrewsbury Street and an adjacent mixed-use building for a combined more than $3.3 million, though the restaurant will remain open.
Rosemary Turo, of the Turo family that's run Leo's and a predecessor market since 1910, sold the Leo's Ristorante building as well as 56 Shrewsbury St., which includes the bar The Pint, Victory Bar & Cigar and upper-floor apartments. Leo's will remain open, according to Lee Hanson, a member of the Turo family.
The sites have two different buyers. The Leo's Ristorante site at 11 Leo Turo Way was bought for $1.7 million by an entity registered to Michael Ermani of Worcester. The adjacent building was bought by an entity registered to David Breazzano, the president and chief investment officer of a Waltham investment firm, DDJ Capital Management.
Turo's late husband, Francis, died in 2009. He took over Leo's Ristorante from his father, Leo, for whom Leo Turo Way, the short dead-end road that leads to the restaurant from Shrewsbury Street, is named.
The site of the four-story Leo's Ristorante building, which includes nearly 23,000 square feet, was last assessed by the City of Worcester at more than $1.3 million. The site at 56 Shrewsbury St., with its nearly 10,000-square-foot building, was last assessed at $591,600. Both sales closed in December.
