About a month ago, espresso connoisseurs Lory and Max Arietti opened the doors to their new coffee shop, Cafe Italia, which is located in North Conway Village. This is not the first business these two entrepreneurs have owned in the Mount Washington Valley.

This power couple moved here from Turin, Italy, several years ago. In 2017, they purchased The Met Coffee House from Howard Stanten and Erin Wright and quickly realized they were spending more time inside the shop than they initially thought they would be.
