Vinny T's Closes in Dedham

Two weeks after we reported that a small local chain of Italian restaurants had closed two of its three remaining Boston-area locations, the last one in the area has closed, and it looks like the rest of its dining spots have been shuttered as well.

According to the Worcester Telegram, all of the remaining Vinny T's restaurants have closed, including the location on Elm Street in Dedham (the article focused specifically on the Shrewsbury location, but mentions that the entire chain is now gone). The article mentions that former locations of Vinny T's are going to become part of the restaurant chain Buca di Beppo, though it does not get into specifics about which locations are targeted for reopening (the Shrewsbury location is definitely being converted to Buca di Beppo).

A note from a poster on Chowhound earlier this week had indicated that the Dedham location of Vinny T's was indeed closed, and this was confirmed by both the Telegram article and an article on the Grub Street Boston site.

In early June, we had written about the closing of Vinny T's in both Lexington and Danvers. A call placed to the Dedham location had indicated that it was still open at the time.

The address for the now-closed Vinny T's in Dedham was: Vinny T's, 233 Elm Street, Dedham, MA, 02026.
