WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. From Cappelli Enterprises (Edited) May 15, 2008: Via Quadronno, one of the most distinctive dining destinations in New York City offering a unique Italian café fare, today opened its newest restaurant at Renaissance Square in the heart of downtown White Plains. The Bar Building sidewalk cafe/coffee bar/eatery adds White Plains to its exclusive other locations in Miami, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
“Via Quadronno brings a sophisticated, exciting café environment to White Plains and Westchester,” said Louis R. Cappelli, President of Cappelli Enterprises, (shown in December at opening of The Ritz-Carlton), the developer of Renaissance Square and owner of 199 Main Street. “Via Q occupies one of the most prominent locations in Downtown White Plains and establishes a dramatic presence at the gateway to Renaissance Square. We are very pleased to have brought this new culinary experience to the city.”

Via Quadranno— which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week— offers a unique Italian café-like culinary experience including its signature panini sandwiches, ice creams, espresso and other Italian specialty coffees. It also has a full bar that will offer a wide selection of Italian wines.
The 3,000 square-foot restaurant seats 80 patrons and can accommodate about 60 for outdoor dining in warmer weather. It will be open at 8 AM, weekdays and at 9 AM on weekends. The kitchen closes at 10:30 pm, Sunday through Thursday and at 11:30 PM, Friday and Saturdays. Reservations can be made online at www.opentable.com. Massimiliano Convertini is the head chef.
“The emergence of a cosmopolitan atmosphere makes White Plains an appropriate location for our new restaurant,” said K.C. Lam of Via Quadranno. He added: “Many Westchester residents already enjoy our Manhattan Via Q and our presence here will surely attract many more fans of the Via Q experience.”
