The Arms Set for Valentine’s Day’s Weekend

Restaurant owner Casey Goll said with personal pride that the Winthrop Arms will have “all of our regular greatness on top of different Valentine’s Day dishes” for this weekend and on Valentine’s Day itself, Monday, Feb. 14.

“We’re talking about a wine-and-dine dinner for Monday,” said Goll. “It’s kind of a funny weekend with the Super Bowl, but people will be out celebrating Valentine’s Day. We’re not only serving great stuff, but even better experiences.”

And Goll made it a point to mention the Winthrop Arms’ notable dessert choices, including the cheesecake and “our apple crisp, which is second to none. That’s something two people can split. It’s huge, and with some ice cream on top, it doesn’t get any better.”

Goll is beginning his third year at the helm of operations at the Winthrop Arms, having succeeded his father, David Goll, who purchased the restaurant and hotel in 1978.

“Valentine’s Day is always a nice little holiday at the Arms,” said Casey. “We’re looking forward to serving our regular customers and taking care of new people as well. For someone dining here for the first time, we always want to make as good of an impression as we do on somebody who is a regular. We want to make everybody feel like regulars.”

Following Winthrop High School Hockey

 Casey Goll was an outstanding hockey player at St. Mary’s High School and Southern New Hampshire University. While his competitive hockey days are over, Goll plays golf regularly at the Winthrop Golf Club.

Goll said he has been closely following Winthrop High hockey, especially the undefeated girls hockey team. Casey’s sister, Chelsiea Goll, played women’s college at Northeastern and currently works in the insurance industry.

“I know the Winthrop girls are one of the top-ranked teams in the state,” said Casey. “The thing that’s most impressive is that they’re all girls from Winthrop. It tells you everything you need to know about hockey in this town, how important it is.”

Goll credited Winthrop High coach Anthony “Butch” Martucci for the success of the program.

“I’m so happy for Butch,” said Casey. “He works so hard in his regular job and then he comes here and does a great job coaching the team. I wish him nothing but the best.”

Speaking of great hockey players, Goll said U.S. Olympic hockey captain Mike Eruzione and his family often dine at the Winthrop Arms.

“Michael supports us, and we always support him,” said Goll. “He’s always taking care of Winthrop.”
