"Unfortunately, with regret, we have no choice but to close our doors," owner Graice DiFeo wrote in a letter to customers. "It is with great sadness that we announce the closing of Graziella's Italian Bistro.

"We want to thank all our wonderful guests and employees for supporting us through the years," DiFeo added. "We are extremely humbled that so many embraced our restaurant and were able to enjoy 27 tasteful years, which is truly an accomplishment."
