Lil Vinny's Ristorante to Close on 12/31

Lil Vinny's Ristorante in Somerville's Magoun Square is closing on 12/31/11 after 12 years in business. Wicked Local Somerville says the space will become Daddy Jones, a bar harkening back to the 80's and 90's from the Lyons Group. Though the article says the new venture will serve affordable "light fare," they're bringing a serious chef to make it happen: Rachel Klein of Aura and formerly of OM.
