Longtime Pittsburgh Restaurant Closes

PITTSBURGH, PA — A staple on Pittsburgh's South Side for years, Emiliano's restaurant on East Carson Street has closed.

The locally-based chain's locations in Cranberry, Gibsonia and Bethel Park remain open.

"Like many businesses in our South Side community, we’ve weighed difficult decisions over the past year about how to serve you best in an increasingly challenging business climate," Emiliano's said in a social media post.

"Sadly, we have determined it is necessary to close our South Side location to allow us to more fully focus on making authentic food that brings people together at our other locations."
