Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano at Eastview Mall has closed

A restaurant which has been at Eastview Mall for a number of years has closed.  According to the operator of the Mall, Wilmorite Corp., Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano has shut its doors.

Mall management released this statement:

“When Biaggi’s first came to Eastview almost 15 years ago, it was their first restaurant in New York and a potential springboard for more locations in the northeast,” said Dennis Wilmot, Senior Vice President of Leasing and Development at Wilmorite.  “I suspect the geographic isolation of Eastview from its locations in the Midwest contributed to its decision to close.  We are sorry to see them leave the area but anticipate an announcement will soon be coming on a replacement.”

Customers with gift cards to the restaurant should contact Biaggi’s corporate office at (309) 445-6639.

Biaggi’s website now lists restaurants in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin.

There are no restaurants listed in the Northeast.

A statement was posted on Biaggi’s Facebook page:
