Giuseppe’s Ristorante in Bend is closing after 25 years. While I don’t like being the barer of bad news, hopefully this will give you a chance to try their food one last time Tuesday night Nov. 30th.  This bit of news arrived in my inbox from Giuseppe’s this afternoon:

Hello To All,    It is with bittersweet emotions that I am sending off the news of Giuseppe’s closing its doors after 25 years.  They do say that all good things come to an end, and Giuseppe’s time has come.  Tomorrow night, Nov. 30th, will be the last evening of Sambuca Prawns, Chicken Venetian, Mannicotti, Lasagna, Osso Buco, Scampi Classico,  and all the entrees we have prepared over the decades.  I am sorry for the short notice, but that is how some transactions go.  If you have the evening free,  we would love to see you.  The new owners will be opening their doors of “Bond St. Bar and Grill” on Tuesday, Dec.7th.  They plan on having a “Giuseppe’s Classics” section on the new menu.  I also think the familiar faces of Nancy and Hydie will also be a part of the new scene.  I want to extend a very heartfelt “Thank you so very much” for all the years of your patronage to my humble establishment.  Its been a great run and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you all.  Happy Holidays!  Peggy

Thanks Giuseppe’s for 25 years of delicious food.
