Sad for this one. Always liked the meals there.

What a bummer - their lasagna was next level
Absolutely everything I had there was good

While there's now enough upscale Italian (not just old school red sauce places) to cover their departure, I'll miss it. Love the location too.

Just got the email. Their lasagna is my favorite dish in the city. I live in Lafayette, so doubt I can make it in time for one more meal.

That corner of town is increasingly desolate for business. I wonder how much longer Picnic provisions will hang on.

I thought they had closed. Didn’t they chef/owner die?

And you have Bistro Daisy and Saba right there. There’s no shortage of fine dining around there. Wonder what happened with Avo.

10 years in business. Seemed to have been doing very well.

You're thinking of Apolline.

That's too bad. I've enjoyed several fantastic meals there.
