Massachusetts Italian restaurant chain Bertucci’s has closed four restaurants in Massachusetts as it files for bankruptcy, once again.

Its Braintree location, on Franklin Street, has a notice put up announcing that it is “Permanently Closed” and directs customers to its locations in Hingham and West Roxbury.

“After two decades of serving this community, it is with heavy hearts that we announce our Bertucci’s Braintree location is permanently closed,” the notice states. “Thank you for your loyalty and support all these years.”

It’s the same story for its locations in Mansfield, North Andover and Norwood. The company’s website now lists only 10 locations in Massachusetts: Boston, Chelmsford, Chestnut Hill, Framingham, Hingham, Medford, Newton, Reading, Waltham and Westboro.

The restaurant once boasted some 80 locations in East Coast states. That that number has now dwindled to 16. In addition to the 10 Massachusetts locations, there is one location each in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, and Virginia and two locations in Maryland, according to the company’s directory.

Bertucci’s Restaurants, LLC, started in Somerville’s Davis Square in 1981 and is now headquartered in Boston, according to its website. However, its corporate address according to the Thursday bankruptcy filing in federal court for the Middle District of Florida is in Orlando Florida. According to court records it filed for bankruptcy previously in 2018 and 2022.

The company estimates its debts to be in the range of more than $10 million to $50 million from 200 to 999 creditors against assets in the same range.

The restaurant was the 2024 Boston Pizza Festival’s People’s Choice Winner.
