Cambridge Italian Restaurant Closes its Doors

CAMBRIDGE, MA - An Italian restaurant in Cambridge has recently closed its doors.

Erin Miller, the owner and executive chef of Urban Hearth, told Patch that L'Impasto had its final service on Saturday. Urban Hearth is a boutique culinary event and catering company, and is occupying the space formerly filled by L'Impasto.

"We were sad to see L'Impasto go, but we couldn't be more happy to be in this part of Cambridge," Miller told Patch.

Miller, and her Arlington-based business partner Lia Hussain, are planning to turn the space into a cafe' during the daytime and a supper club in the evenings.

L'Impasto had been open since 2011, and was named the "best Italian restaurant" in the Boston area in 2012 by Boston's Hidden Restaurants.

According to a post on the Urban Hearth Facebook page, the restaurant has already begun renovations and rebranding, with the licensing and re-branding process underway as well.

Patch reached out to L'Impasto for comment, but the restaurant did not immediately respond.
