"Our dedicated family and staff have been a key component to our success. It’s a bittersweet moment for us as we begin our path ahead," owners wrote.

Hundreds took to social media to share what the beloved spot between Dean and Bergen streets meant to the community.

"What a great run. TCruly an end of an era. You were a neighborhood staple. You will be sorely missed. Thanks for the memories Cataldo’s," one patron wrote on Instagram.

Another patron noted Cataldo's was full of Brooklyn pride.

"I loved bringing my out-of-town family here, [because] you showed [them] what real BK love/community is all about (and the great food!). I always felt so proud in front of them."
