Paradiso Italiian Restaurant
Paradiso Italian Restaurant in Franconia will be closing its doors.
The restaurant's owners are handing the reins to the next generation, who will renovate and reopen as a new restaurant called La Fiamma. The business will remain in the family.
The restaurant has been open for nearly three decades, since 1991. The company's affiliated restaurants, Villa Bella Restaurant Burke and Giardino in Springfield, do not appear to be changing.
In a message on the company's Paradiso Facebook page, the owners wrote:
"Dear Patrons and Friends, Paradiso will be closing it's doors on October 11, 2020. We will be undergoing some renovations and will be reopening in Mid November under the new name La Fiamma (Translation: 'The Flame'). It will be the same family owned business, just a new generation.
It's definitely bittersweet news as we end Paradiso's amazing 30 year streak of serving the community. However, we are SO excited for this new chapter and we hope you will continue to support us! We are thrilled to share the new updated ambiance and food with our community. We will keep you posted with any updates on this page as well as La Fiamma's page.
Please like our new page La Fiamma.
We hope to see you all soon!"
