Burrasca Closes for Good

January 15, 2021 by PDX Food Dude Leave a Comment

Thank you for seven years of celebrating la cucina toscana

Dear friends, we have closed Burrasca for good.

Certainly the past year has been challenging, but your love and support since the onset of the pandemic has kept us afloat and helped provide jobs and income for our staff. With our lease at an end, we felt it was time for a change: time for renewed focus on well-being and family, and time to consider new and inspiring projects. A fresh start is a good thing, and we embrace it! (Even at our age).

It has been a sincere pleasure and honor to serve our beloved community since 2013 when, newly immigrated, we began life as a food cart. On behalf of all our team, both past and present, we wish to express our deep gratitude for all the wonderful years of food, wine and fellowship. Be well!
—Paolo and Elizabeth

The next chapter

Paolo—ever the irrepressible Tuscan—plans to keep cooking, so stay tuned. Follow him on Instagram @paolo_calamai_ or be on the lookout for email announcements regarding new projects. Grazie!
