A longtime Italian restaurant in Westmoreland County has announced they will close for good at the end of the month.
Carbone’s restaurant, which has been in operation in Crabtree for the past 80 years, will end operations at the end of business July 28th. The restaurant has been in the family for all of its existence, but according to reports, there is no interest in any of the fourth-generation of family members to continue the day-to-day operations of the restaurant. In a post to the restaurant’s facebook page, Natalie Carbone Mangini called the closure of the landmark restaurant as “Bittersweet” and that the decision was a tough one to make, but not made “in haste”.
The building and property was sold to their main competitor, the DeFabo family, who operates Rizzo’s Malabarr Inn, but the family will retain the business name, the liquor license and the recipes that made the restaurant famous.
