A local restaurateur is looking to open not one, but two locations of a new concept.
According to a source (via a Patriot Ledger article), Leo Keka, who runs Alba in Quincy and Hanover, is planning to open Scutari in Hanover, taking over the space on Route 53 where Flanders Field had been. It appears that this will be the first of two locations of the Northern Italian restaurant to open, as another in Braintree (which was mentioned here last summer) may not be opening in the former Dunkin' Donuts University space on Granite Street until late August or early September while the Hanover location could be opening May 15.
Flanders Field first opened in the latter part of 2020, offering dishes with Northern European influences along with an extensive beer list; it apparently closed sometime late last summer or early in the fall, though an official announcement was never made.
The address for Scutari in Hanover is 2055 Washington Street (Merchants Row Shopping Center), Hanover, MA, 02339.
[July 31 update: According to its social media, Scutari is now open in Hanover.]
