The North End’s Bova’s Bakery is spending the week serving up stars instead of its well-loved selection of handmade Italian specialty cakes and traditional pies.

The Salem Street bakery will remain closed through Friday to accommodate filming there for a new film under the working title “Quincy” and starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.

“Get your Bova’s fix today for the week & stock up,” the bakery posted on Facebook Sunday. “We appreciate your loyalty, patience, & understanding. We will see you all on March 25th.”

The closing of the bakery, however, was a “mixed blessing” to several fans of the shop commenting on social media.

“It does give your location worldwide publicity … it is a huge hassle too,” said one Twitter user. Another bemoaned the sudden fame: “Great now the tourist will know about you and the lines will be around the block. Hoping to keep it the best kept secret.”
