A check on the place this week showed that Pastalina's Restaurant on Salem Street was gutted and the space appeared to be under construction, with an earlier Facebook post from this winter indicating that the dining spot has left its space and is moving. More recent notes on its page show that the new space will be bigger--though it is still not known where it is moving to--and that there were "building obstacles" last month causing delays in its reopening.
Pastalina's is an Italian restaurant and caterer that our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) has featured as an under-the-radar spot to check out. The review can be found at the link below:

The old address for Pastalina's Restaurant was 454 Salem Street, Medford, MA, 02155.
[May 14 update: A recent Facebook post from the place mentions that the opening is "going slow because of construction of the building and the city to zone it for a restaurant." (No opening date has been given as of yet.)]
November 7 update: A new Facebook post states that Pastalina's has been hit by delays in its planned move, with the note saying that "We ran into some financial and building code issues for a few locations. New times new state rules so it's unexpected and unfortunate but we are still staying hopeful and please have patience we are trying to get thru this."]
