It looks like an Italian restaurant in downtown Boston that was once featured on a popular food show is opening a new location in the heart of the city, and this one could have a slightly different focus.
According to a Twitter post from @thompspicks, Casa Razdora is planning to open on Federal Street, with another source (Geoff Wong) sending a photo that shows a sign out front for the eatery. The sign mentions that the new location will offer takeout and catering, though it is not yet known if it will also have seating like that of the original location on Water Street or if it will strictly be takeout. The original Casa Razdora gained national recognition in 2014 when Guy Fieri visited the place for "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," which showed approximately two years after the place first opened in the former Sam & Anne's Deli space.
The upcoming location of Casa Razdora on Federal Street had once been home to Crumbs, a chain of cupcake shops that closed all of its stores in 2014 only to reopen some outlets--including the Boston shop--before closing for good in 2017.
The address for the new location of Casa Razdora is 176 Federal Street, Boston, MA, 02110. The website for the Water Street location can be found at http://www.casarazdora.com/
[August 15 update: A licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website indicates that the new location of Casa Razdora could be one step closer to opening by next week, as a hearing is expected to take place on its application for a common victualler license on Wednesday, August 21.]
