MarinaWire: Mamacita Crew Taking Over Bistro Yoffi

THE MARINA—Details are still trickling in on this one, but it looks like another growing restaurant group is on its way to establishing a neighborhood mini-empire of sorts: Nate Valentine and Vintage 415 are teaming up once again with Sam Josi and Stryker Scales (Umami, Mamacita, etc.) for a new project in the Bistro Yoffi space at 2231 Chestnut Street.
