Another Favorite Colorado Restaurant Closes After 20+ Years in Business

Colorado continues to see a wave of businesses that made it through the pandemic but cannot keep things going now.

As a restaurant, like any business, you don't get to stay in operation for more than 20 years if you don't know what you're doing.

Nonna's Chicago Bistro (on Leetsdale) even used to have live jazz while you dined on the weekends. That's the kind of initiative that customers appreciate: providing a fun, relaxing atmosphere.

WHY IS THIS ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN COLORADO CLOSING?

The owners of this Nonna's list some of the common reasons we've heard as of late:
