While the dining options lining Veterans Blvd. are closed or offering limited service during the COVID-19 crisis at least one restaurant has announced that it will not be re-opening. Bravo Cucina Italiana at Lakeside Shopping Center has posted notices stating “As of today we will closing down permanently.”
Candidly this Bravo location has been our internal endangered list for some time now as it seems that the atmosphere and food slipped over the years. The national chain was purchased by a private equity firm in 2018 and is now owned by FoodFirst Global Restaurants. Since the COVID-19 situation the chain announced that at least one other location in Pennsylvania has closed for good. Prior to the current situation the chain had closed additional locations over the past several months.
Thank you to Around Metairie reader Billy for the tip.
