Round Lake-based Death Wish Coffee Co.
calls its product “the world’s strongest coffee,”
and soon people around the country–even
other parts of the world–will hear about it.

The company won a competition held by
software maker Intuit for a 30-second spot
during the third quarter of the Super Bowl 50
on Feb. 7. They beat more than 15,000 other
small businesses in voting by the public and
Intuit employees.

According to Adweek, companies are paying
CBS, the network carrying the big game
this year, $5 million or more for a 30-second
spot–a prohibitive price for a small business.
Last year’s Super Bowl had an audience of over
114 million people, officials said.

The Death Wish ad features a Viking ship
sailing on treacherous seas before segueing
into the moment of a man enjoying a cup of
the coffee.

This architect’s rendering shows a building proposed by Bonacio Construction that would include
eight residential units, coinciding with upgrades to Caffè Lena, located just to its left.

BY R.J. DELUKE

“Our goal is that 50 years from now people
will still be flocking to this room,” Caffè
Lena Executive Director Sarah Craig said
at a Jan. 26 news conference, standing on
the stage of the historic folk music venue
on Phila Street in Saratoga Springs.

Those words were spoken at the announcement
of a $500,000 philanthropic
partnership between the venue and Saratoga’s
Bonacio Construction that will further
revitalize not only the 55-year-old Caffè,
but its neighborhood, because as part of
the Campaign for Caffè Lena, Bonacio assumes
the Caffè’s parking lot at Phila and
Henry Streets.

Sonny Bonacio announced from the stage
plans to construct a mixed-use building,
which will feature an elevator and stairwell
shared with the Caffè, at 47 Phila. The apartment
space, with an address of 55 Phila St.,
will have eight residential units.

He said if all goes well, the project could
be started in the spring and completed in a
large part by the end of 2016, with interior
work being finished up into early 2017.

Chef Danny Petrosino’s has opened Osteria,
a restaurant at 26 Henry St.

BY MAUREEN WERTHER

Danny and Patti Petrosino have opened their newest culinary venture, Osteria Danny, at 26 Henry St. in Saratoga Springs, formerly home to Capriccio Saratoga and Dine restaurant.

The Italian term “osteria” refers to places that serve mainly wine and simple food. The menus are typically short and focus on local specialties. Chef Danny Petrosino has been using local products for his entire culinary career.

A native of Amsterdam and graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Petrosino is a highly regarded chef who honed his culinary skills at such restaurants as Glen Sanders Mansion in Scotia and Saratoga National Golf Club. In 2012, his restaurant, Mio Posto, captured the attention of Bill Donovan, a faithful patron and one of the owners of Maestro’s at the Van Dam and Harvey’s Restaurant & Bar, both in Saratoga Springs.

In September of 2014, Petrosino sold Mio Posto to a colleague, Danny Urschel, who continued to run that establishment. Petrosino became executive chef of Maestro’s and Harvey’s. When Donovan and his partners decided to open Symphony Catering, Petrosino became its executive chef. He will continue to be in charge of menu development there, concurrent with the operation of Osteria Danny.
