The Aguirre family has decided to close its beloved Chicago restaurant on Grand Avenue just a few weeks before what would have been its 28th anniversary and move to Downers Grove.
The tables at Bella Notte Ristorante were set with white tablecloths, plates and silverware Tuesday afternoon, looking as if the place was ready for a lunch crowd. But one glance at the bar, and guests would see bottles of wine and liquor being inventoried.
The Aguirre family has decided to close its beloved Chicago restaurant, at 1374 W. Grand Ave., just a few weeks before what would have been its 28th anniversary and move to Downers Grove. Ramon Aguirre said Bella Notte closed July 2 for its annual two-week July break. But facing headwinds such as steep fines from the city, crime and third-party delivery fees, the family decided to close the location -- announcing it on their Facebook page Monday night.
Aguirre said he reached a deal Tuesday afternoon with officials in Downers Grove to move there and expects to be open within 60 days. "They welcomed us with open arms and gave us a lot of rent and tax incentives," he said."There I can pick up the phone and talk to the mayor and the leaders of the chambers of commerce. They are welcoming us with open arms. Here, I can't even get the alderman on the phone."
