@Cstomio123 : Previous owners were not ever restaurant owners. Restaurants are a tough business especially with no experience. They were going to close the restaurant on December 31 if a buyer had not been found.

@Ruger5 : It IS wrongâ€¦ as a merchant I KNOW it is a "cost of doing business " 100% of which is tax deductible

I do hope they offer some kind of Gluten Free option. It's torture to be with a group in an Italian place and only be able to order salad.

I think the pics are stock photos and not what is really going to be available there. I am looking forward to a more upscale or modern Italian place. Italianos is the best so far.

@MeMyselfAndI : Amen!

@Ruger5 : What is this "merchant fee" that you speak of?

@FreebyrdII : This I also know - just one of the many reasons it's wrong. They can claim a temporary necessity but not true. Without customers they're toast. They better figure a way to GAIN customers, not drive them away. I personally don't know of one restaurant that hasn't raised the prices of their food at least once, and up to three times. And yet they still tack that merchant fee on at the end. Nope that does not work for me. We are all struggling, not just them.

@cbear : The credit fee cc companies tack on to businesses -in one part, it's how they make their money. The other part is interest fees they tack on to we card holders. I never pay interest because I live with Dave Ramsey's brother (I kid) but in fact we make a tidy sum off cc rewards points, which this merchant fee interferes with. It offsets my rewards stockpile so actually Im getting screwed two ways. Me no likey. It's not right. There's a reason they call it a merchant fee. Do merchants help customers pay any of the interest credit card companies charge them for using card at their business? No of course they don't. So why should they think we would be OK with helping them pay their merchant fees? It's taking advantage.

If the merchant hasn't baked that fee into the cost of doing business they shouldn't be in business.

@Ruger5 : Just an FYI on the cc fees.. they charge the business more when you use a card that accumulates points. You don't think the cc folks are doing that out of the goodness of their greedy little hearts do you?
