Dianne's on Devine Closes After 24 Years

Dianne Light has closed her Italian-inspired fine dining restaurant Dianne's on Devine after 24 years in business. 

Light announced the decision Tuesday on the restaurant's Facebook page and thanked her customers. 

"I’ve loved serving you for special occasions, business meetings or just a nice evening out over the years," Light wrote. "You all are like family to us. To say we couldn’t have done it all these years without you is an understatement."

Light says she plans to focus on her other restaurant, DiPrato's Delicatessen, and on marketing her famous, all-natural pimento cheese. 

Dianne's first opened on Assembly Street in 1989 before moving to Devine Street in 1995.
