Servino’s reopens at original Ark Row site

Don’t call it a comeback, call it a homecoming: After a two-year closure, local favorite Servino Ristorante has reopened in its original location on Ark Row.

The restaurant, which served its last meal at its former 9 Main St. site on May 12, 2021, officially served its first meal at its revived location on Sept. 30.

Servino’s Ark Row presence is two-fold: There’s the main restaurant, called Trattoria at 114 Main St., and the Enoteca garden patio at 116 Main St. Both are open Tuesdays-Sundays, the former 5-9 p.m. and the latter 4-10 p.m.

Enoteca focuses more on wine, drinks and small bites; “enoteca” in Italian directly translates to wine repository, but they’re often special shops that bring regional wines to visitors and tourists.

The two entities seat a combined 90 diners — 46 inside Trattoria and 34 with Enoteca’s combined indoor and outdoor seating.
