Branzino in Rittenhouse is closed by fire

A note on the website contends that the blaze was set.

Branzino, the popular Italian BYOB in Rittenhouse, will be closed for more than a week after a fire Tuesday morning, its owner said.

Luan Tota, who is in Europe visiting his family, said by text that he had heard that there was a break-in, as well - a point that is noted on the restaurant's website, which contends that the fire was set.

Philadelphia police did not return a message Tuesday seeking details.
