Gaier + Fraiser Opening Italian Restaurant In Boston

Thanks to Aaron Kagan, editor of Eater Boston, for sharing the news from Chowder that Maine's dynamic chef duo and Top Chef Masters cheftestapants, Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier of Arrows and MC Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, will be taking over what is now 606 Congress at the Renaissance Hotel in Boston's Seaport District. Slated to open in the fall, it will be called MC Medici Ristorante & Bar and according to Chowder, "the cuisine will be largely inspired by the duo's travels through Bologna, Venice, and Florence, and will have a rather ornate, traditional decor." This will be Gaier and Frasier's fourth restaurant; the pair also owns Summer Winter in a Marriott hotel in Burlington Mass.
