“After thirteen wonderful years, we have made the difficult decision to close the doors at our beloved neighbourhood restaurant permanently,” Rosemarino wrote in a statement posted on Instagram.
“The past few years have thrown some major curveballs at the industry we love, and the relentless financial pressures have made it increasingly difficult for us to sustain our small business.
“Despite our best efforts, we are no longer able to continue serving you in the way we envisioned.
“To all those we have welcomed over the years, and all the amazing staff who have been part of the team, we are immensely grateful for your love and support; we cannot thank you enough for being a part of Rosemarino’s story.”
Rosemarino’s final day of service will be on Sunday.
