Tiffani Faison Is Opening Orfano in Boston's Fenway Neighborhood

by Marc Hurwitz

It looks like one of Boston's best-known chefs will be opening another restaurant in the Fenway.

According to an article in Boston Magazine, Tiffani Faison is planning to open Orfano, which will be an Italian restaurant in the new Pierce Boston luxury condo/apartment tower by the corner of Brookline Avenue and Boylston Street. Few details have been given on the dining spot at this point in time, but it appears that the restaurant could open sometime this summer if all goes as planned.

Faison, who was nominated for a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northeast last year, is behind Sweet Cheeks, Tiger Mama, and Fool's Errand, all of which are located on Boylston Street in the Fenway.

It looks like the address for the upcoming Orfano will be 188 Brookline Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215.

[June 21 update: Boston Magazine states that Orfano will offer "redefined" takes on classic Italian-American dishes.]

[August 22 update: The Tables section of The Boston Globe says that Orfano plans to open sometime next week.]

[August 26 update: Boston Magazine mentions that Orfano opens at 5:00 PM today.]
