Lazzari’s post on Facebook read:

“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the permanent closure of the restaurant, a decision I have made after 30 years. I am grateful for the loyalty and support of our customers throughout the years. I would be dishonest if I said this decision did not affect me deeply. Today has been an incredibly tough day.”
