NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. - Bertucci's Corp. says it is selling off the Vinny T's of Boston chain to focus on its own Italian restaurant brand.
Northborough, Mass.-based Bertucci's announced Tuesday that Vinny T's would be acquired by C&T Restaurant Management LLC for an undisclosed price. C&T currently operates Pomodorino, a chain of Italian restaurants on Long Island, N.Y.
Bertucci's purchased the Vinny T's chain - formerly known as Vinny Testa's, having no connection to former NFL quarterback Vinny Testaverde - for $6.8 million from Buca Inc., in September 2006. There were 11 Vinny T's at that time, but now there are seven - six in the Greater Boston area and one outside of Philadelphia, in Wynnewood.
Bertucci's operates 94 restaurants in 10 states and the District of Columbia.
