Southeast Portland Italian Favorite Burrasca Has Closed The owners say their lease was up and announced the decision on social media Jan. 15.
One of Portland's top Italian restaurants has served its last meal.
Burrasca, the Southeast Clinton Street dining room with a menu influenced by chef Paolo Calamai's hometown of Florence, announced Jan. 15 via social media that it has shut its doors. Eater PDX first reported the news.
"With our lease at an end, we felt this presented an opportunity for change: time for more focus on well-being and family; time to consider new and inspiring projects," the statement read. "Change is a good thing and we're excited for a fresh start and fresh perspective."
