Bonapita Is Opening in Downtown Boston

A new restaurant is coming to the heart of downtown Boston, and it looks like it could be a fast-food eatery and/or a takeout spot.

According to a post within the jobs section of the BostonChefs.com site, Bonapita will be opening on Franklin Street in the Downtown Crossing/Financial District area of the city, with the "vibrant, quick service restaurant" planning to open its doors sometime in March. This confirms what an earlier article from the Boston Hospitality and Tourism Industry Blog said, with that post mentioning that the place had been looking to acquire a Common Victualler's License last month. Little is known about Bonapita at this point in time; as soon as we find out more about the restaurant, we will post an update here.

[May 21 update: According to a new post within the BostonChefs.com restaurant jobs section, Bonapita is "about to open." The website for the restaurant gives little information on the place, other than the fact that it will be a Mediterranean bakery and grill.]

[June 5 update: A Twitter post from @DTownBostonBID indicates that Bonapita is now open, with a sign out front saying "Come in and try our fresh baked pitas."]

The address for this new eatery in downtown Boston is: Bonapita, 51 Franklin Street, Boston, MA, 02110. Its website will be at http://bonapita.com/
