I Heard Luigino's Restaurant Closed
 
I saw on Facebook today that Luigino's closed for good last night.
Most people know I don't say too many bad things about restaurants, even those I don't like but, Luigino's was one that I didn't like.
I never want to see any business close because that means people will be out of work. Thank goodness we are coming into season and maybe the employees can find another job.

The outside bar was doing a brisk business during the Cruise-in last night. A last hurrah, I guess.

Maybe just another step in upgrading the overall offerings at Spanish Springs to compliment the new Sharon Center.

We have only dined there a few times, but always had excellent food and service.

One of our granddaughters requested her Birthday dinner be held there and they served the 16 of us without a hitch.

On another occasion, the owner was sitting with a group at a table next to us and they had a large Birthday cake for someone in their party. The owner came to our table and introduced himself and brought cake to us.

We always had good food and good service. I hate to see them close. Like, Bonny, I hate to see any of our dining options close. Particularly the non-chain restaurants.

Navy (SSBN 633) From (SSBN 635)-second that- they were about as good Italian food that you find in the TDU void

And so it is reported in the not to be mentioned on-line news:

"An Italian restaurant in Spanish Springs Town Square served its last meals on Saturday.
"Luigino’s restaurant owner Desmond D’Souz quietly informed loyal diners Saturday that the restaurant would be closing."

There are so many closings and empty store fronts in all 3 of The Villages downtowns - I find it alarming! TV should be concerned. I would think businesses would be lined up to be in those areas .Rent too high? TV too controlling?

Answer #1 - Probably
Answer #2 - More than likely

We talked with a person last week that looked into opening a business in TV. They were given a 49 page contract to sign. Their lawyer told them run, not walk away from it.

A search shows they opened almost exactly four years to the day. I wonder if their four year lease was up.

I will miss their outdoor bar. $2 drafts were great! The pizza could not be beat anywhere!

However, the food, service, and attitudes inside were all terrible.
