Mediterraneo Restaurant closed

It’s sad and official: the closing of the Mediterraneo Restaurant (formerly of 1571 Barrington) is no passing phase. It’s closed for good. (That means no more Coast-award-winning turkey sandwiches and schwarmas). After 11 years of running the restaurant, owner Edward Daniel decided it was time to close up shop. “People weren’t coming in like they used to…It was just the right financial decision for me to close her up,” he says. Daniel and his brother took the shop over after its original owner passed away; in total, the Med was open for around 20 years. Daniel thanks his customers (the “funnest part of the business”) for all their support. “I hope I haven’t broken too many hearts…or made anyone go hungry,” he adds.
