in Etobicoke has had great prices that have attracted loyal customers for years, even including Doug Ford, but now they've announced they're closing their doors.
Unfortunately, Trattoria Leonardo owner Pietro Benedetti says the closure isn't voluntary, and is being forced on them by the landlord. He says the landlord has sold the property and that the new owners want to convert the restaurant into a pharmacy and medical building. "Unfortunately when you are a tenant you are at the mercy of the landlord. Until last year the Ford government had an eviction policy in place, and as soon it was lifted a lot of small business were forced to close down. My neighbour Lenny was locked out the 18th of May 2021, now it's my turn to leave."
Forced to close? More like forced to move it’s their choice not to relocate
So sad, our favourite since they opened 😢
I can only imagine who bought the building.
Correction: *Small Italian restaurant in Etobicoke permanently closes.
Torontonians love going to niagara falls, we leave our comfortable clean homes and spend lots of dollars to support them there,I wish it was some of the hotel/motel up there that was closing down, like falls lodge 6000 Stanley Ave after their ceiling came down on me
