The
Bootlegger Restaurant opened its doors in May of
1995 and became a dream fulfilled for owner Allan
Cosimi. Allan had been actively involved in the
restaurant business for many years when the opportunity
arose to purchase The Bootlegger at 50 Mass. Ave.
With encouragement from friends and family and with
great acceptance from the town of Lunenburg, Allan
was able to bring to the people of the area a fine
dining experience which incorporates a menu of homemade
cooking by his mother, Gloria, the unique and delectable
creations of Executive Chef, William Nash, Sous
Chef, Derek Maillet, and their talented and dedicated
assistants."
Upon entering the doors of The Bootlegger you are
impressed with an atmosphere of nostalgia for the
Prohibition Era with photos and newspaper clippings
from the 1920's and 30's. The restaurant features
a main dining area and an upstairs dining room which
can accommodate larger parties or a romantic dinner
for two. They also have a function room downstairs
that can accommodate up to 50 people for gatherings,
showers, rehearsal dinners, banquets or family get-togethers.
There is a full bar with tables in the lounge area
and half-priced appetizers are offered from 3-6PM
daily.
The Bootlegger features an extensive menu of
freshly prepared selections including homemade
soups, gnocchis, meatloaf, eggplant parmesan,
meatballs and red sauce by Gloria Cosimi who can
be found in the kitchen every morning preparing
her specialties for the day. They have, because
of numerous requests, most recently added a limited
catering menu for those who wish to have an event
at their home or business with all freshly prepared
foods. In addition to many Pasta dishes they offer
an extensive dinner menu selection including beef,
veal, chicken, and seafood along with specialty
dishes featured daily. The luncheon menu also
offers daily specials plus a variety of sandwiches,
salads and smaller portions of some dinners along
with a "No Delay Lunch Buffet" on the
weekdays.
