According to an article within the NorthEndWaterfront.com website, Rigoletto Ristorante is planning to open on Salem Street, moving into the space where Sapori di Napoli/Cafe Napoli used to be. The article mentions that the North End/Waterfront Residents' Association (NEWRA) approved plans for the place to open by a vote of 23-7 last week, with the vote focusing on a conditional use application that would allow for a full restaurant menu as well as kitchen equipment with a vent fan to the roof. It is not yet known when Rigoletto Ristorante might open or what may be on its menu; as soon as we find out more, we will post an update here.
[July 13, 2015 update: A new article from indicates that Rigoletto Ristorante is now open, and that it features house-made pastas, meat and seafood dishes, and "unique" cocktails.]
The address for this new restaurant in the North End is: Rigoletto Ristorante, 115-117 Salem Street, Boston, MA, 02113.
