A James Beard Award winner who opened an Italian restaurant in South Boston a couple of years ago is going to be opening another Italian dining spot nearby.
According to an article from Food & Wine, Karen Akunowicz is planning to open Bar Volpe "blocks" away from Fox & the Knife on West Broadway, though no specific address has been given as of yet. The new restaurant will focus at least in part on Southern Italian fare including seafood dishes, and the 5,200-square-foot space will feature an in-house pasta shop and a wood-fired grill. If all goes as planned, Bar Volpe will open in the fall.
Previous to Fox & the Knife, Akunowicz worked at such places as Ten Tables, Via Matta, Oleana, and Myers + Chang.
