North Square Oyster Reopens as Ciao Bella in Boston’s North End | Eater Boston

"Reopening Tuesday, June 4 at 4:30 p.m. with dinner service seven nights a week, this North End restaurant has shifted to an Italian-focused menu that emphasizes house-made pastas (including carbonara), classic Italian-American dishes such as pork chops and steaks, and salads like caprese. While the overall focus is now Italian, the bar preserves the location’s seafood legacy by continuing to offer oysters, lobster rolls, crudo, and natural wines. Owned by Nick Frattaroli—who also operates Tony & Elaine’s, Ward 8, and Bodega Canal—the concept evolved after the opening of a sibling restaurant and leans into a classic Italian-American vibe. The interior has been refreshed with bright floral wallpaper, pink-accented chairs, a marble bar, and white tablecloths." - Dana Hatic
