Trattoria di Monica has started renovations for its expansion on Prince Street, near the corner of Salem Street. BHTIB’s Adam Castiglioni walked by the other day and shares this photo. The expansion space was most recently Il Truinfo, a short-lived Mexican restaurant. Prior to that, the location was occupied by Allisa Cohen’s raw restaurant, Grezzo. The Mendoza brothers have been busy lately, also expanding nearby Monica’s Mercato.

Could not be more pleased with the Mendozas’ expansions on the Salem & Prince corner. Great businesses with responsible ownership (unlike another business on the same corner . . .). Looking forward to the openings (even if it won’t be until late Summer).
FYI – It was “El Triunfo” not “Il” – Il is Italian, and El is Spanish.
Congratulations to this family and their success! Excellent quality people and product!
The Mendoza family is a devoted group of hard working men. Focused on high quality foods and services. The completion of the Salem street location will be a major asset to the North End. Good Luck.
Mario.
agreed – i wish they would take over more of north end – great family.
Do not forget the Mendoza women. Best of luck
