Mario Batali to Open Babbo Pizzeria in Boston

Over the weekend, empire builder Mario Batali tweeted the excited message above that he is opening a Babbo Pizzeria in Boston sometime soon. Wheeeeee. This would be the first pizzeria to bear the Babbo name, though Eater Boston hears that it will actually be an extension of OTTO. (There's a Portland-based chain called OTTO with a location in Boston, so Batali likely is branding this new pizzeria under the Babbo name to avoid any conflicts.) No word on when or exactly where the new pizzeria will open.
