Fresno restaurant shuts down after decades in business

FRESNO, Calif. ( KSEE/KGPE ) – A longstanding Italian restaurant has closed its doors after four decades in business.

DiCicco’s Italian restaurant in the Ash Tree Plaza on the corner of First Street and Shaw Avenue has closed its doors after 40 years. The restaurant says they have decided to consolidate with their West Shaw location following the closing.

“We are sorry to have had this turn of economy, and we could not be more devastated to have had to make this decision,” reads the sign posted on the door of the restaurant. “We sincerely thank you for your years of loyalty.”

The sign adds the phones at the First Street and Shaw Avenue locations will automatically be transferred to their 2221 W. Shaw Avenue location and they will continue to serve home delivery requests from there.

The family restaurant says they will continue to serve customers in several other locations across the city. According to DiCicco’s website , they have other locations on Blackstone Avenue and East Kings Canyon Avenue.
