It appears that a new last-minute agreement is being reached for the Live Oak farmers market to remain at the East Village Shopping Center resulting in a new one-year lease.
Ristorante Italiano (555 Soquel Ave.), which had been serving customers since 1982, is now closed. The owners posted on their website and on social media a message that included, “It is with a heavy heart that after 42 years we must inform our loyal customers and friends that Ristorante Italiano has decided to close its doors. … It has been a privilege and honor to have been able to serve all of you.”
