A location of a group of Italian restaurants has shut down.
According to a source, Strega Italiano in Woburn has closed for good, with Boston 25 News reporting on the closure this morning and a note on the website of the restaurant saying the following:
We've made the difficult decision to close our doors permanently prior to the New Year, giving our valued team members this time to enjoy the holiday season. We are grateful for their service, and we are working to place each employee in new roles throughout the PPX Hospitality Brands company, with the many opportunities in this great market. Our sincerest appreciation and gratitude go out to you our guests for the support and loyalty you have shown over the years, especially our regulars who have become like family. We welcome all to enjoy the Strega Italiano experience in our Boston locations, Seaport and Back Bay where we continue to invest in the brand and our authentic Italian dining experience! We hope you’ll stay tuned for new features and developments at these fine restaurants!
The Woburn location of Strega first opened as Strega Prime in 2013, with The Varano Group being behind all the Strega outlets until selling the Woburn, Seaport District, and Back Bay locations to Danu Partners (of which PPX Hospitality Brands is a part) in 2020; The Varano Group continues to run the original Strega in Boston's North End along with Nico and Rina's, both of which are in the North End as well.
The address for the now-closed location of Strega Italiano in Woburn was 100 Sylvan Road, Woburn, MA, 01801.
