Buca di Beppo Suddenly Shuts Down Two Chicago Restaurants After 25 Years

Popular Italian-American chain restaurant Buca di Beppo abruptly closed two Chicago-area locations in August, including one in Wheeling after 25 years.
The closures came with no notice to city officials or customers. The chain has removed the closed locations from its website.
Buca di Beppo has over 80 locations nationwide and is known for family-style portions of Italian dishes like chicken parmigiana.
Wheeling officials are working to fill the vacant restaurant space left behind. A second Buca di Beppo in downtown Chicago near Navy Pier also closed.
The abrupt closures echo a similar situation with Boston Market's last Ohio location shutting down recently with little notice amid alleged late employee payments.
