According to a page within the Bizapedia site, La Famiglia Pizzeria is looking to open in the former Nicola Pizza House space on Mass. Ave., with the principals listed being Ahlam Endrawos (who appears to be behind at least one Dunkin' Donuts location west of Boston) and Osmarly Bento-Lombardi (who is apparently a principal at Red Cosmetics in Woburn). Little else is known about the proposed dining spot, though more could be known by next week as the town of Arlington will hear about the plans for the eatery on June 6.
Nicola's closed in June of 2013, with the space being sold to the owner of Peter Pan Superette on Park Avenue who mentioned at the time that another pizza spot could open in the space at some point in time.
The address for the proposed La Famiglia Pizzeria is 1215 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA, 02476.
