A group of upscale Italian restaurants and markets is closing one of its Boston-area locations, though a new concept appears to be taking over the space.
According to a source, Tuscan Kitchen in Burlington is shutting down, with a Facebook post from Tuscan Brands saying the following:
After nearly 11 unforgettable years, Tuscan Kitchen Burlington will be closing its doors on Sunday, August 3rd. Since opening on October 15, 2014, this location has been more than just a restaurant—it was the heartbeat that helped build Tuscan Brands into what it is today. We’re endlessly grateful to the Burlington community, our loyal guests, and the dedicated team who made this place feel like home. While we say goodbye to this chapter, we're thrilled to share that we'll be returning to the same space with an entirely new concept—crafted for the residents of Burlington and the travelers passing through.
The Burlington location of Tuscan Kitchen was the second location to open, joining the original location in Salem, NH which first opened its doors in 2010; another location debuted in Boston's Seaport District in 2017.
The address for Tuscan Kitchen (and the upcoming concept to replace it) in Burlington is 2400 District Avenue, Burlington, MA, 01803. The website for the business is at https://www.tuscanbrands.com/tuscan-kitchen/
[December 29 update: According to an article from What Now Boston, Sorella will be opening in the former Tuscan Kitchen space, with a Facebook post from the upcoming restaurant stating that it will include a 32-seat bar and a dining room along with private rooms for functions and events, while its menu will offer "elevated Italian dishes" including scratch-made pasta dishes. If all goes as planned, Sorella will open this winter.]
