ROANOKE, Va. – A popular downtown Roanoke restaurant known for its Italian dishes and Venezuelan meals will soon be closing its doors and moving to a new location.

Its downtown location will be closed on April 20, and for the time being, the restaurant will only be delivery or carry out in Salem.

“To our lovely loyal friends, for the last 13 years I enjoyed making food for all of you ... thank you for your loyalty,” the restaurant said.
