According to an article from the Hopkinton Independent, Carbone's Restaurant on Cedar Street is planning to close its doors sometime this fall, with the family behind the dining spot saying that "There were many business and personal reasons, too numerous to mention here, that went into this decision, a decision that we are not taking lightly, and we announce with a great deal of sadness." The post mentions that owner Peter Carbone is hoping that any new owner would continue to run the restaurant, though the decision would ultimately be made by the person who purchases the place, while the estimated window of the closing of Carbone's may be four to six weeks from now, though this is not written in stone.
Carbone's first opened in 1933, with the restaurant being known in part for its classic Italian-American fare including such dishes as chicken picatta, veal parmesan, shrimp scampi, lasagna, ravioli, pizza, and more.
The address for Carbone's Restaurant is 280 Cedar Street (Route 85), Hopkinton, MA, 01748. Its website can be found at http://carboneshopkinton.com/
Thanks to Universal Hub for initially letting us know about this via a message sent earlier today.
[December 2 update: A Facebook comment from the place indicates that Carbone's is still open and that it now looks like the restaurant could remain open until it is sold, as they say that "Ideally we would like to sell the restaurant as a restaurant in order to facilitate this we must remain open."]
[March 11, 2021 update: A new Facebook post from the restaurant states that Carbone's is still open for the foreseeable future, clarifying an article from another publication that the place had closed down.]
