An Italian restaurant with a rooftop patio that’s been operating for two decades just recently shut down.
Vivoli has long been a reliable standby restaurant for Italian comfort food, taking up residence on a busy corner. They served traditional pastas and wood fire pizza, as well as panuozzo, sandwiches made with fresh baked pizza dough in their wood burning oven.
The restaurant announced the sudden end to their many long years in business with a short but sweet post to social media.
“The end is here…with sad hearts, after two decades of business, Vivoli will be closing their doors,” reads the brief post.

The last day for Vivoli was July 6.
