Notable openings: Capo has opened in South Boston (443 West Broadway at F Street). The Italian restaurant is the latest from the team behind neighborhood hangouts Lincoln Tavern and Loco Taqueria. This is good news for fans of late, lamented restaurant Sage — talented chef Tony Susi is now cooking here. Feast on wood-fired pizza, house-made pasta, heaping portions of parm, and an Italian wine list — all at reasonable prices (most dishes are under $20). Capo is open for dinner starting at 5 p.m. nightly.

The Chicken & Rice Guys food truck now has a permanent home in Medford (64 Salem St. at Oakland Street). The 30-seat restaurant is open from 11:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. daily, with a replica of their mobile menu: mainly chicken, rice, lettuce, and pita bread, crisscrossed with tangy yogurt sauce.

Temporary closings: The South End’s Aquitaine (569 Tremont St. at Union Park) shutters for a design refresh, with plans to reopen in May to coincide with its 19th anniversary.

Menu news: Nearby, the South End’s Coppa (253 Shawmut Ave. at Milford Street) launches Saturday brunch on March 5. Ease your morning woes with hangover pizza (a medley of meats and over-easy eggs) and lemon ricotta doughnuts topped with Nutella. Brunch is from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Looking ahead: Tasty Burger mastermind David Dubois tells me that he’s dreaming up a deli in Lower Allston. “It’ll be a modern take in a brand-new space that reflects the Jewish deli vernacular,’’ he says. Too early for details, although Dubois says that the restaurant probably won’t be called Tasty Deli, but you never know.
