Why Your Favorite Pasta Spot Vanished

Ever show up to your go-to Italian place only to find the lights out? Bertucci’s, a longtime pizza and pasta staple, just closed more locations after its third bankruptcy since 2018. Rising food costs and fewer people eating out have hit even the big names. It’s not just Bertucci’s—local gems and chains like TGI Fridays are also shutting doors. So, if you love a spot, maybe treat yourself (and them) to dinner out before it’s too late! #RestaurantClosures #MoneyLifehacks #SupportLocal #Inflation #DiningOut #Business
