Restored 1910 Searsport Original Train Station
The market and studio was curated with the idea of hosting cooking classes to further inspire (as if shopping in a gourmet market isn’t enough inspiration)!
Customers can dine in the market or the antique train, and bring prepared foods to enjoy at home! Massimo currently offers takeout, including his award-winning breads, delicious pastas, paninis, sauces, pastries, desserts, wines, and more.
The ‘Chef’s Counter’ was very thoughtfully custom designed from Italy, with a marble top, induction cooktop, and are convertible/moveable to configure facing outward for retail with shelving, or inward for storage and for use while cooking for or teaching guests.
This is a new owner or chef’s perfect opportunity to blend a passion for cooking and and love of teaching together into one location. Guests can enjoy a unique private dining experience with family or friends in the private dining Studio.
Operating as Massimo's Restaurant and Studio Market, but only the real estate and improvements are being offered
