A note from the Shops at Prudential Twitter page says that the food court at the Prudential Center is tentatively scheduled to close after business hours on June 25, which confirms some rumors about this date indeed being when it would shutter. As mentioned earlier, celebrity chef/restaurateur Mario Batali and his business partners will be opening a location of Eataly in that space and beyond, as it will be on three floors and have 45,000 square feet of space, with a rooftop restaurant being part of the plans. It appears that the marketplace will be ready to open by the middle to latter part of 2016, joining its flagship U.S. location in Manhattan and a store in Chicago (a number of other locations can be found in other parts of the world as well).
Some of the dining spots located at the food court at the Pru include Panda Express, Boston Chowda Co, Cheeseboy, Gourmet India, Flamers, and Pizzeria Regina.
[June 25 update: A new post from the Prudential Center website confirms that the food court will indeed be closing at the end of business hours today.]
