Costello’s Famous Roast Beef, Seafood and Pizza near the Haverhill and Plaistow, N.H. line, abruptly closed May 20, leaving behind $222,627 in state taxes, according the Department of Revenue’s website, and with at least one worker saying paychecks bounced.
Nicholas K. Flynn, administrator for the city’s License Commission, told WHAV the restaurant’s manager notified the city of the closing. The eatery’s website was still up as of Monday, June 15, with a note saying it was closed for vacation “until after May 14.” The listed telephone number is no longer in service. There was no note on the restaurant’s front door indicating the restaurant was closed and no longer in business.
According to the Corporations Division of the Massachusetts Secretary of State’s office, Costello’s is owned by Quincy-based W & W Holdings. Rachelle Bens is listed as president.
The 63 Plaistow Road, Haverhill, location was originally built as a convenience store, associated with Haffner’s service station.
