EVOO and Za in Cambridge's Kendall Square to Close; Arlington Location of Za to Remain Open

A pair of Cambridge restaurants that are under the same ownership are saying farewell.

According to a Facebook post, EVOO and Za, which are located in the same building in Kendall Square, are shutting down, with the post saying the following:

It's been a great run!! EVOO will be closing on June 1 and Za Cambridge on June 14....The time is right with our lease and we're looking forward to slowing down a bit and enjoying more time with our families....We can't thank our amazing staff and guests enough. We are so lucky! We hope to make the next month a celebration. Stop in for a drink or dinner, or just to say goodbye if you can.

The post does say that the Arlington location of Za will remain in operation.

EVOO, which offers New American fare, has been in business for 26 years, starting out in a space in Somerville before moving to its current home in 2010. The Cambridge location of Za, which is known for its pizza, also opened in 2010, joining its original location on Mass. Ave. in East Arlington which first started out in 1998.

The address for EVOO and Za in Kendall Square is 350 Third Street, Cambridge, MA, 02142. The website for EVOO is at https://evoorestaurant.com/ while the website for Za is at https://cambridge.zarestaurant.com/
