Ciao Amici Opens in the Former Massimo's Ristorante Space in Wakefield

A new Italian restaurant has debuted in the northern suburbs of Boston, taking over the space that had been home to another Italian spot before it closed a few months ago.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Ciao Amici is now open in Wakefield, moving into the former Massimo's Ristorante space on Centre Street behind the downtown area. A look at their website indicates that the place offers fresh pasta along with beer, wine, and cocktails, and their chefs have "45 years combined experience in the Italian Cuisine."

Massimo's first opened in Wakefield in 2014 after being open in several other locations north of Boston; the restaurant closed permanently just before Christmas. 

The address for Ciao Amici is 19 Centre Street, Wakefield, MA, 01880. Its website is at https://www.ciaoamicirestaurant.com/
