After 11 years in business, San Mateo’s Vespucci Ristorante Italiano is set to close Dec. 31.
Owners Manuela Fumasi and Francesco Zaccaro posted a letter on their restaurant window and via social media sharing the announcement.
“As you can imagine, this decision hasn’t been easy, but we know it is the right one for us at this time,” they said. “This has been a beautiful adventure, extremely hard at times, but definitely filled with laughter, friendships, and memories that we will carry in our hearts forever.”
The restaurant’s 20 hand-painted tables will be available for purchase starting Jan. 1. More information is available on the restaurant’s Instagram account.
Details: Open 5-8:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays and 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays at 147 E. Third Ave., San Mateo through Dec. 31; vespucciristorante.com
