ST. LOUIS � LoRusso�s Cucina, a longtime Italian restaurant in south St.
Louis, is closing.

The restaurant�s final day of service will be Sept. 29, said owner Terri LoRusso. Terri and her late husband, Rich, opened LoRusso�s in 1986.

The closure comes as LoRusso said the restaurant has faced several
challenges in recent years, ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic to her
husband�s death in 2022. LoRusso said she �just couldn�t give up the restaurant,� but increased supply chain costs have eaten into the
restaurant�s margins. LoRusso said she didn�t want to keep operating the business if it would have required taking on debt.

LoRusso said she considered selling the restaurant but opted against it.

�It didn�t take me long to realize I didn�t really want to sell. I just
didn�t want to take the chance of somebody taking over and not doing
justice to the food, to the service and all that,� she said.
