Hopkinton's Carbone's Restaurant To Close After 87 Years

HOPKINTON, MA — A Hopkinton staple of nearly 90 years will close its doors this fall. Carbone's Restaurant announced it will be closing in the coming months after 87 years in business.

The Carbone family, the owners of the Italian-American restaurant, hope to sell the restaurant to new owners. In a letter to customers, the family said the closing was due to "many business and personal reasons, too numerous to mention." The restaurant had been in the Carbone family for generations.

There's still no hard closing date, the owners said the date will depend on "several factors that are impossible to predict at this time."

Located at 280 Cedar Street, the property consists of 12 acres of land next to the Hopkinton State Park. The restaurant first opened in 1933 and was originally named "The Good Fellows Club" and managed by Edward Carbone. In the beginning the restaurant had just two employees and grew to its current 90 employees.

"We can never thank everybody enough for your loyalty and support over the years, and for being a part of this journey with us," the restaurant's message reads.
