Olivia's Kitchen Plans to Open in the Former Taco Party Space in Somerville's Ball Square

It looks like a new Italian dining spot is on its way to Somerville, moving into the space where a vegan Mexican restaurant had been.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Olivia's Kitchen is planning to open in Ball Square, taking over the former Taco Party space on Broadway. The upcoming restaurant has an ownership connection to The Emporio, an Italian cafe in Stoneham, with an Instagram post from that business saying that "we're giving our space a full makeover!...And while The Emporio is leveling up…We're also getting ready to open our brand-new restaurant."

The address for the upcoming Olivia's Kitchen is 711 Broadway, Somerville, MA, 02144.
