Rocco's at The Brick closed for good in November 2025

As you may know, Rocco's at The Brick on Washington Avenue, a popular restaurant for many years, closed its doors without warning back in November of 2025. The unexpected news sent shock waves throughout the community and left loyal customers with so many questions. Will gift cards be refunded? What about our Thanksgiving reservations? Will another restaurant be taking over? It was a mess.

The new restaurant is called Donatelli's

Fast forward a few months, and there's progress. Donatelli's is the new restaurant coming soon to The Brick Hotel.
