Boston’s busiest transit hub is about to get a whole lot more carb friendly. Dalmoros Fresh Italian will open its first train station outpost inside South Station on Friday, June 12, setting up a new walk up counter in the station concourse to feed commuters, travelers and downtown workers with made to order pasta on the go. To kick things off, the chain has a noon "pasta cutting" ceremony on the books, plus opening day giveaways to celebrate the debut.
In a press release via Restaurant News, the company said the South Station counter will sit at 700 Atlantic Ave., Suite 112, and operate daily from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Opening day promotions include complimentary tiramisu and bags of fresh pasta, and the first 100 customers will score a free "pasta card." The brand is also talking up a speedy assembly model that it says can crank out more than 1,000,000 unique pasta combinations in under five minutes.
What They'll Serve
Dalmoros' menu combines fresh pastas and homemade sauces with paninos, salads, garlic breadsticks, meatballs and tiramisu, along with beer, wine and gluten friendly options, and the shop will also sell bagged fresh pasta to take home. Those offerings line up with the chain's existing menu and locations information online, which lists a Boston outpost at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. The South Station counter is being positioned as an all day option, with breakfast and coffee for early commuters and quick service at lunchtime.
South Station's New Food Scene
South Station has been steadily upgrading its dining game as the neighborhood around the terminal evolves, including new tenants tied to the South Station Tower development. That broader move toward more all day dining is turning the concourse into prime real estate for quick service concepts like Dalmoros, according to Boston Magazine. For regular commuters, the newcomer could offer a faster, fresher alternative to some of the station's long running grab and go staples.
The chain also said it plans to roll into new markets including Philadelphia, New York City, Austin, San Antonio and Washington, D.C., as part of a broader growth push, per Restaurant News. David Caruso, the brand's leader, said, "We couldn't be more excited to make South Station our newest stop and connect with travelers, commuters and the local Boston community." The company added that local appearances and a photo opportunity with "Tony Rigatoni" are scheduled as part of the grand opening festivities.
Commuters and downtown workers should see swift counter service and breakfast coffee options right out of the gate, along with the chance to grab boxed or bagged pasta for home. For media queries, the press contact listed in the release is Ilene Lieber of Passion PR Consulting at [email protected]. Dalmoros' South Station location will join the chain's existing footprint as it pushes to bring freshly made pasta to more transit hubs.
