LoRusso's Cucina to close September 30th

Post by SRV1990 »

What an incredible 38-year run it was for Rich and Terri LoRusso:

Indeed, 38 years is a great run! But it was very tough on Terri after Rich's passing in 2022, and she deserves some time away from the grind to enjoy life.

For four decades, LoRusso’s Restaurant stood as a beloved fixture on the Hill, intertwining itself into the memories and lives of everyone who passed through its doors. Now, with its recent closing, LoRusso's is offering its cherished pieces of history to the public.

Every item in the restaurant--from fine art to rare wine glasses--is up for grabs in an online auction.

Indeed, close but no cigar lol. Neither is my favorite Trattoria Marcella. TM probably getting some spillover from the closure I'll bet.

Your STL Mag says it started on Hampton before moving to Luigi's spot(I loved Luigi's too), do you remember where that was? TM moved into the old Ron & Shirley's, wasn't too fond of them.

They were in that little strip called Hampton Plaza, at Hampton and Potomac. I believe where Knead Bakehouse is now is where LoRusso's started.

As for Trattoria Marcella, they are definitely one of my absolute favorite Italian restaurants! Love TM and their other location, Mia Sorella!
