Mamma Mia! CNY Italian Restaurant Suddenly Closes Its Doors

Mamma Mia! One Italian restaurant in Central New York has suddenly closed its doors.

The owners of Lauro's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria in Canastota have decided to shut down, announcing the sad news on social media.

We want to thank everyone that has supported us since 2019 up until now. As of December 2nd, my husband has decided to close the restaurant. It wasn't an easy decision by all means, but a necessary one. People don't realize how much rumors or unkind things can hurt. It hurts business personally and financially.
