Lil Vinny's Ristorante Will Stay Open Into 2012

Grub Street brings word that Lil Vinny's Ristorante in Somerville will not be closing at the end of this month as previously reported. "That is a rumor and is not based in fact," says the restaurant via Facebook. Lil Vinny's tweeted that it will remain open "through the New Year" and will keep its followers apprised of the actual closing date, which is now pushed back indefinitely. Grub Street also tells us that Aura chef Rachel Klein will not be involved with the restaurant Daddy Jones, which is said to be moving into the Lil Vinny's space, assuming we can still trust that info.
