Gufo Plans to Open in the Former Loyal Nine Space in East Cambridge

A local restaurant group is looking to open a new restaurant in Cambridge, taking over the space where a dining spot known for its colonial theme had been.

According to a tweet from @TroySch1, The Coda Group is planning to open Gufo in East Cambridge, moving into the former Loyal Nine space on Cambridge Street. The Instagram page for the upcoming restaurant shows posts that say "pizza," "cocktails," and "cafe" while also mentioning that it will open sometime in 2023. Currently, The Coda Group operates SRV in Boston's South End and The Salty Pig near where the South End and Back Bay meet.

Loyal Nine closed down last December after being in business since 2015; the people behind it also run Northern Spy in Canton.

The address for Gufo in East Cambridge is 660 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA, 02141. Its Instagram page can be found at https://www.instagram.com/gufocambridge/

[March 8, 2023 update: According to a post within the jobs section of the bostonchefs.com site, Gufo plans to open early this summer and it will offer coffee, antipasti, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, pastries, beer, wine, and cocktails, with the place being a counter-service cafe by day and a full-service restaurant by night.]

[July 24, 2023 update: According to a press release, Gufo opens its doors for dinner service on Friday, July 28, with its cafe opening sometime next month.]
