On Monday, owners of Costagliola’s Little Italy, just off Broadway in the City of Newburgh, announced they are closing their doors for good.

The Italian eatery, located at 121 Washington Terrance, opened in January of 1995. Many considered this a hidden gem in Newburgh. Most who dined there said it was the best Italian food they have ever had.

"We have enjoyed every meal in your restaurant since you first opened," Dianne Haase wrote on Facebook. "Absolutely the best Italian food anywhere!! You have always been so gracious to everyone and, although we will miss you very much, we wish you much happiness and rest in your retirement!!"

On a personal note, Costagliola’s was my absolute favorite restaurant. I spent every birthday I can remember dining on delicious Italian food that reminded me of my Grandma's cooking from her Brooklyn kitchen.

Countless friends from the Newburgh area also considered it their favorite restaurant. A high school friend summed the closing up best.

"To say this is devastating is an understatement. It changed my life. I don’t think you realize the impact Costagliola’s had on how I judge other restaurants attempts at Italian," Pat Nunnari commented.

Sadly, the owners didn't give loyal customers a chance to say goodbye as the Facebook post was the official closing.

"I feel as if I'm losing some friends," Ellen F Witaker wrote. "There will never be a restaurant that feels so much like home, but better, than Costaglio's. Best of luck in the future."

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
