Fort Point's restaurant scene is getting hotter, this time with news that a certain flame-haired celebrity chef is in talks to open a Summer Street restaurant.
Mario Batali is in negotiations to open a pizzeria at 320 Summer St., a source involved in the deal said.
Batali tweeted on Saturday that he would be opening a Babbo pizzeria in Boston "very soon," but the source close to the negotiations said the restaurant would be a third location for his Otto Enoteca Pizzeria. No agreement has been signed, the source said.
"They wanted Boston, they wanted the Seaport," said the source, who wished to go unnamed because talks are supposed to be confidential. "It would be a great use for the building and great for the Seaport."
Batali is negotiating for 6,500 square feet at 320 Summer St., a former warehouse building to which Woburn software firm LogMeIn will relocate its headquarters next year.
A competing Portland, Maine, company already operates pizzerias in Brookline and Cambridge under the Otto brand, which could account for the name discrepancies for Batali's plans.
A spokeswoman for the chef said an official statement would be released in the next two weeks.
A cookbook author and co-host of ABC's "The Chew" daytime talk show, Batali has 20-plus restaurants with business partner Joe Bastianich, including the flagship Babbo Ristorante e Enoteca in New York and Otto Enoteca Pizzerias in New York and Las Vegas, which sell pizzas for $7 to $15.
Batali would be added to a roster of big-name Fort Point chefs who include Barbara Lynch (Drink, Sportello, Menton), Joanne Chang (Flour) and Ming Tsai, who's slated to open the 70-seat Blue Dragon at 324 A St., by year's end.
Former nightlife-king-turned-restaurateur Seth Greenberg plans to open a French bistro at 49 Melcher St. next year, but said it was too early to reveal the chef. Also, Berkeley Investments reportedly will bring in a celebrity chef for a restaurant at 381 Congress St.
