It appears that changes are coming to a basement restaurant space in the North End.
According to a licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website, a new dining spot tentatively called Italian Tailor is hoping to open on Commercial Street, with the address indicating that it would be taking over the space that has been home to Il Molo. The manager listed for the proposed spot is Michael Wyatt, who is involved with All Day Hospitality Group (Ward 8, Ciao Roma, Tony & Elaine's, Bodega Canal) while Il Moro is run by local restaurateur Donato Frattaroli.
Very little is known about the upcoming restaurant other than the fact that it plans to include dining areas, a raw bar, and a seated bar, and it isn't known whether "Italian Tailor" is just a working name for the place, so stay tuned for any updates that come in.
The address for the proposed dining spot replacing Il Molo is 326 Commercial Street, Boston, MA, 02109.
[April 23, 2024 update: According to a post within the jobs section of the bostonchefs.com site, the new spot moving into the Il Molo space will be called The Red Fox and it will be a restaurant, bar, and cocktail lounge that is "reminiscent of 70s & 80s era red sauce Italian joints." If all goes as planned, it will be opening around May 17.]
