Tavolino in Westborough Is Closing

A pair of casual upscale Italian restaurants known for their pizza and pasta dishes will soon be down to just one, as their MetroWest location is getting ready to shut down.

According to multiple sources as well as a post within the ChewOnThis Facebook group page, Tavolino in Westborough is going to be closing its doors on March 1 after being in operation for 16 years, with no specific reason being given for the closure of the spot which is located within Bay State Commons. It appears that the Foxboro location of the restaurant will remain open, as will Citizen Crust in Foxboro and Siena in Mashpee, both of which have an ownership connection.

The address for Tavolino in Westborough is 33 E Main Street, Westborough, MA, 01581. The website for both locations is at https://www.tavolinorestaurant.us/

The Simple Greek Is Expanding to Boston

It looks like a Pennsylvania-based chain of quick-service Greek restaurants is on its way to the local area.

According to a Twitter post from @JustinA_PZD, The Simple Greek is bringing "a bunch" of locations to Massachusetts, with Eater Boston stating (via a press release on marcuslemonis.com) that new shops will be coming to 15 states, including Massachusetts. EB mentions that The Simple Greek's website shows the first locations in the area coming to Boston and Westborough while the site also mentions shops coming to Nashua, NH, and Providence, RI.

The Simple Greek, which traces its roots back to 2004 in the Pittsburgh area, is a chain of counter-service eateries featuring customized pita and salad/rice/lentil bowl options along with sides such as spinach pie, hummus, and stuffed grape leaves. The dining spots also offer Greek yogurt and baklava.

A "Boutique" Restaurant Company to Open Locations in Stoughton and Westborough

A restaurant company is getting ready to open a couple of upscale dining spots in the Greater Boston area, though it is not known at this time exactly who is opening the eateries.

According to a post on the Craigslist site, a "boutique" restaurant company with 14 upscale restaurants is looking to open new locations in Stoughton and Westborough this spring. The post mentions that the company currently has locations in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, but no name is given--or any other information, for that matter.

The job post (which will likely be taken down soon, as most Craigslist job posts are) can be found at this link: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/fbh/2806314049.html

We will continue to try to find out the name of the restaurant company that is opening these two places, but if you have any thoughts as to who it might be, please post your comments below.
