Viga Is Opening on Clarendon Street in Boston's Back Bay

A trio of Italian eateries and caterers in Boston is going to be adding a fourth location, with this one being in the Back Bay.

A Licensing Board page on the City of Boston website indicates that Viga is planning to open a new outlet on Clarendon Street, joining other locations on Stuart Street, Washington Street, and Devonshire Street. The website for Viga says that the new location is expected to open this spring, while the hearing page on the city's site mentions that it plans to be open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, though it is not yet known whether this would be weekdays only like the other locations.

[April 8 update: One of our readers mentions that the new Viga on Clarendon Street is now open, though its hours are different from those mentioned above--the restaurant's website says it is open from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday through Friday.]

Viga is known mainly as a takeout spot (though with limited seating) with a menu that includes soups, salads, pasta dishes, pizza, calzones, hot and cold sandwiches, and pastries. It also offers lunch catering and special events catering.

The address for this new spot in the Back Bay is: Viga Italian Eatery, 140 Clarendon Street, Boston, MA, 02116. The website for Viga can be found at http://www.vigaeatery.com/
