Popular Hicksville Italian Restaurant Closes

HICKSVILLE, NY — An Italian restaurant in Hicksville has served its final pasta dish.

Trullo D'Oro shut on Christmas Eve after a decade on North Broadway. But owners Gino and Maria Giannuzzi have a 40-year relationship with customers. They ran Villa Parma in Syosset, along with La Caravella, Il Donatello and Zucca NYC.

"We are retiring! Many thanks to all of you for your patronage and friendship. You have become more than customers, now friends and family," a Facebook post stated.

They were an intergral part of the community, as one woman said in response on Facebook.

"So very many memories... date nights, showers, countless birthdays, rehearsal dinners, baptisms, communions, confirmations, family diners, company events, anniversaries, graduations... so many celebrations throughout the past thirty years!"

The Giannuzzis are in their 70s, Newsday said.
