D'Amico & Sons is closing its last two Minnesota restaurants, located in Edina and Golden Valley, at the end of March. The first D'Amico restaurant opened in Minneapolis in 1994. D'Amico Hospitality, the catering arm of the company, will continue to operate in the Twin Cities metro.

Why it matters

The closure of the final D'Amico & Sons restaurants in Minnesota marks the end of an era for the beloved Italian café chain, which had expanded to 12 locations in the Twin Cities and Naples, Florida over nearly 30 years. However, the company's catering business, D'Amico Hospitality, will continue to operate in the Minneapolis area.

The details

D'Amico & Sons has decided not to renew the leases for its Edina and Golden Valley locations, which will close on March 28. The company's owners, Richard and Larry D'Amico, will now focus their attention on their Naples, Florida restaurants: Campiello, The Club Room at Campiello, and The Continental. D'Amico Hospitality, led by longtime partner Paul Smith, will continue to operate and expand its exclusive venues and special event services in the Twin Cities metro.
