বন্ধ করার পরে, একটি ইতালীয় রেস্তোঁরা স্থানীয়দের উপর হামলা করে
After closing, the Italian restaurant brutally attacked locals saying: “Thank you for not supporting us, not even once.” Don Ciccio shuttered its Highgate, North London location earlier this month, just six years after opening. Announcing the closure on its website, the Hampstead Lane restaurant issued an angry farewell to its “community.” Don Ciccio Osteria, an Italian restaurant in Highgate, England, closed in October 2025. Jack Fifield/SWNS A “closed” sign is seen in the front window of Don Ciccio after closing its business in Highgate, London. Jack Fifield / SWNS It read: “We have closed the shop due to lack of customers. “Thank you to the Highgate community and its neighbours – for not supporting us, not even once. “Thank you to those we served during lockdown when we were the only restaurant open, for never showing up after the pandemic. “To the Highgate Society – thank you for never replying to any of our cooperation proposals. “To those who lived a few doors away and still ordered delivery elsewhere, thank you for your commitment to social distancing.” In short: thanks everyone for such wonderful support. “Probably the first Italian restaurant to close… “…not because of bad food, bad reviews or misfortune – but because of the sheer indifference of our neighbors.” The restaurant issued a final message to members of its community, titled “Farewell.” Jack Fifield / SWNS Don Ciccio addressed customers dining at the restaurant. Jack Fifield/SWNS The Don Ciccio menu, which is still available online, features classic Italian dishes including pizza and pasta, with prices ranging from $19 to $35. It has a rating of 4.6 (out of five) on TripAdvisor, based on 239 reviews. However, two recent reviews are anything but complimentary – with one ending: “Do not go there.” The online letter, titled ‘Farewell,’ continues: “We have closed the shop due to lack of customers. “It was not enough to be awarded Travelers’ Choice 2023-2024-2025 on Tripadvisor. It was not enough to be told that we had one of the best pizzas in London. “It was not enough to have 4.7 stars and 700 reviews on Google for each of these six years. Nor change the menu every season, wandering through the flavors of Italy. “As guests and hosts in this country we will not complain. Don Ciccio, the owner of an Italian restaurant, raises a glass of wine in the restaurant. @donciccioosteria/Instagram Empty dining room after Italian restaurant closes. Jack Fifield / SWNS “We will simply say addio.” Asked about the restaurant’s offerings, Andrew Salston, chairman of the Highgate Society, told Ham & High: “We are always very sorry when any local business closes. “As the Highgate Society has no paid staff and all our activities are run by volunteers, unfortunately we cannot always accommodate all requests.” (TagsToTranslate)Lifestyle
