Based on the new restaurant's website as well as signs within the building where it will be opening, Strega is coming to Fan Pier this summer, making this the third Strega in the Boston area, with the original being on Hanover Street in the North End and another residing on Lafayette Street in Salem. An earlier Boston Globe article had stated that the new Strega will be almost three times the size of the restaurant in the North End, with a capacity of more than 150 inside the place, plus additional outdoor seating during the warmer months.
The person behind Strega--Nick Varano--is also involved with such spots as Nico and Nick Varano's Famous Deli, both in the North End, and The Ocean Club at Marina Bay in Quincy.
[July 19 update: According to an email from Regan Communications Group, Strega is planning on opening along the Waterfront sometime in August. The email also mentions that the new spot will feature two fireplaces as well as three separate private dining rooms, a lounge, and a wine room.]
[September 20 update: According to an email from the UrbanDaddy site, Strega will be opening this Friday (September 24).]
The address for this new Italian restaurant along the Boston waterfront is: Strega, One Marina Park Drive, Boston, MA, 02110.
