SushiCo Is Replacing Central in Newton Centre

[Ed note: This article was updated to reflect a new name given for the place.]

A restaurant in the western suburbs that focuses on small plates with global influences appears to be going away, and it will be morphing into what could be a sushi spot.

According to a source, Central in Newton Centre is becoming a new restaurant, with an email from the owners saying that it will be called SushiCo (the original name had been Ukiyo, but that has been changed). This is a rebranding/reconcept that is under the same ownership as Central, and the email we received says that the new restaurant should open soon, though no opening date has been given as of yet.

Central, which first opened in 2016 in the former Appetito space, had been temporarily closed since March when the coronavirus outbreak led to a restaurant shutdown where dining spots could only be open for takeout/delivery.

The address for the new  SushiCo (and the now-closed Central) is 761 Beacon Street, Newton, MA, 02459. The website for SushiCo is at https://www.tastesushico.com/

[January 20, 2021 update: According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, SushiCo is now open, with its website indicating that it is indeed in operation now.]

En Boca in Cambridge's Harvard Square Has Closed

A short-lived restaurant in the Harvard Square section of Cambridge that featured shareable plates has shut down.

Eater Boston is reporting that En Boca on Holyoke Street unexpectedly closed for good this past weekend, with a message telling diners who had made reservations via OpenTable that "The restaurant is saddened to notify their guests that today was their last day of operation. They have had to close permanently very suddenly and will not be able to honor your upcoming reservation." At this point in time, it is not known why the restaurant shuttered, nor is it known what might happen to the space; as soon as we find out more, we will post an update here.

En Boca opened its doors last fall, featuring Mediterranean small plates along with beer, wine, and cocktails. The people behind the dining spot also run The Asgard in Cambridge's Central Square and The Kinsale by City Hall Plaza in Boston. (Sandrine's Bistro had previously been in the space where En Boca had been.)

The address for this now-closed restaurant in Harvard Square was: En Boca, 8 Holyoke Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138.

[June 9 update: The Tables section of The Boston Globe states that En Boca closed because of "construction woes" in the area, and that partner Bill Goodwin says "We'd love to open another En Boca, but not until this is resolved."]

Owners of Ciao! Pizza & Pasta in Chelsea to Open Ciao! Market, Winnisimmet Lounge

The people behind a restaurant that gets high marks for its pizza will be opening a couple of new businesses nearby.

Boston Magazine is reporting that Edson Coimbra and Marvin Posada of Ciao! Pizza & Pasta in Chelsea are planning to open Ciao! Market and the Winnisimmet Lounge, with the former being on Broadway and the latter being on Winnisimmet Street--and both of which will be within walking distance of Ciao!, which is located on Williams Street. The article says that the market will have a space for pasta production and will also have an espresso counter along with a display case for gelato, pastries, and pasta, while the lounge will be a casual spot that offers Italian small plates as well as beer, wine, and cocktails. If all goes as planned, Ciao! Market should open this summer while the Winnisimmet Lounge might not be open for 18 months or so.

Ciao! Pizza & Pasta first opened in the fall of 2015, offering wood-fired pizza, freshly-made pasta dishes, panini, salads, and desserts. The pizza at Ciao! has been a big hit among media people and diners alike, with one Boston Globe writer saying of the pizza, "it's with some trepidation that I'd like to argue I've found the best Neapolitan pie in the Boston area. Maybe anywhere outside of Italy."

The address for Ciao! Market will be 212 Broadway while the address for the Winnisimmet Lounge will be 73 Winnisimmet Street.

[July 24 update: Boston Magazine states that Ciao! Market has soft-opened and that its official opening is on Thursday, July 27; the article says that the store features grab-and-go salads and sandwiches, pasta, sauces, coffee, gelato, and more.]
