El Triunfo in Boston's Financial District Closes; Being Replaced by Portofino's

A pair of Salvadoran and Mexican restaurants is now down to just one, and an Italian restaurant will be moving into the space vacated by the now-closed eatery.

Eater Boston reports (via the Chowhound site) that El Triunfo on Broad Street in Boston's Financial District is now shuttered, with Portofino's Italian Kitchen taking over the spot. El Triunfo had also closed its North End restaurant about a month ago, leaving it with one remaining location--on East Berkeley Street in the South End. The article also says that the folks behind Portofino's have a restaurant by the same name in Abington.

Once Portofino's opens (possibly in a month and a half), expect to see a variety of pizzas, calzones, subs, pasta dishes, and salads there.

[August 21 update: According to a poster on the Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook page (and confirmed by the restaurant's website), the new Portofino's in Boston's Financial District is now open.]

The address for Portofino's is 71 Broad Street, Boston, MA, 02109.
