Italian restaurant in Boston hotel quietly closes after 7 years
A neighborhood Italian restaurant in a Boston hotel has quietly closed after 7 years.
Strip by Strega, located in the Park Plaza Hotel in Back Bay, apparently closed this month.
Google Maps and a call placed to the establishment Thursday both indicated that Strega Italiano was permanently closed. The restaurant's website is also no longer active.
It is unknown why the restaurant was shuttered and when. However, there is a post in the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group from April 19 announcing the restaurant's closure.
Strega also has another location in Seaport. That location is still open.
Strip by Strega opened in 2018 according to a Boston Herald article from the time. The restaurant was one of three Strega locations (including a Woburn spot that closed in 2022) that were acquired by PPX Hospitality from The Varano Group.
The Varano Group still owns the original Strega in the North End, which was renamed to Strega by Nick Varano.
The address for the now-closed Strip by Strega was 64 Arlington St., Boston. MassLive has reached out to PPX Hospitality Group for more information.
