A brand new Italian restaurant is on its way to Jamaica Plain, replacing a space-themed diner that more or less shut down last summer.
According to a tweet from the Jamaica Plain News, JP residents Claire Makley and Luke Fetbroth are planning to open Tonino on Centre Street in the former Little Dipper space, with the post saying that it will offer Sicilian-style pizza, handmade pasta, and "eclectic food-centric beverages." If all goes well, the new dining spot will be opening later this summer.
Little Dipper first opened in the summer of 2018, temporarily closing down in the fall of 2020 before ending brunch service (effectively shutting the place down) last July while continuing to host popups within the space.
The address for Tonino is 669a Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130. Its website can be found at https://www.toninojp.com/
[October 20 update: A note sent to us indicates that Tonino opens its doors today, while its menu shows that it offers such items as tomato pie, chitarra and clams, roasted squid, and cacio e pepe along with beer, wine, and cocktails.]
