47 Pizza + Pasta (Formerly Cafe 47) in Boston's Back Bay Has Closed

A Back Bay restaurant that focused mainly on Italian fare has closed its doors.

According to their Facebook page, 47 Pizza + Pasta (which had previously been called Cafe 47) shut down for good at the end of business hours on June 22. The note mentions that the folks behind the Mass. Ave. eatery have "sold the restaurant to a young couple and they will reopen in the fall under a new name."

47 Pizza + Pasta first opened as Cafe 47 in March of 2009, taking over the space at the corner of Mass. Ave. and Marlborough Street where Despina's Pizza had been.

As soon as we find out more information on what will be moving into the spot vacated by 47 Pizza + Pasta, we will post an update here. (We have been hearing rumors about the upcoming place, but nothing public as of yet.)

The address for this now-closed restaurant in the Back Bay was: 47 Pizza + Pasta, 47 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA 02115.
