As Tewksbury loses one bakery with the closing of Mirabella’s, it looks forward to the opening of an­other with La Vita Dolce. According to co-owner Todd Arsenault, “The Life Sweet” will be a bakery and fast casual restaurant offering bread, traditional Italian bakery items, bakery pizza, a deli, premade food items, homemade pasta, and much more.

The store will also offer catering. Arsenault, the owner of Route 38 Tattoo on Main Street, is opening the restaurant in the former Santander Bank space at 1866 Main St. The space was originally announced as a location for Cucchiello’s Bakery, an East Boston business that moved locations to Saugus, but recently closed. Arsen­ault is now partnering with Ron Pereira, a Tewksbury resident, to bring the new concept to Tewksbury.
