On Wednesday, Aperitivo posted a short and sweet message headlined with the word “CLOSED,” referencing the end of the Italian restaurant and pizza bar’s run at 14 East 60th Street. “Thank you for years of shared moments. Today, we close this chapter with gratitude and fond memories. As we close the doors, we extend sincere thanks for the joy and warmth you brought into our restaurant.” Aperitivo opened a little over two years ago and participated in NYC Restaurant Week last summer.

We want to thank you for your patronage and for all the support you had given Bilao over the past 3 years,” the restaurant shared on Instagram. “May we also take this opportunity to announce that one of the owners of Bilao, will be opening a new Filipino restaurant next block – details to follow.”
