Sclavi’s is on the ropes again

Sclavis

Sclavi’s Italian Restaurant in Superior is threatening to close for what would be the third time.

“We are in need of your patronage, immediately,” the restaurant’s Facebook page noted yesterday. “We are close to closing our doors permanently. This is rock bottom.”

Sclavi’s opened in 2009, closed, reopened in 2011, closed again, and reopened again last October. Brothers Anthony and Dan Sclavi are the current owners.

“We have done everything possible beyond our means to provide a quality, affordable place to have a night out,” the Facebook post continues. “We are forever thankful for those who have passed through our doors. We are putting this notice public so we, as a community, have an opportunity to rally to keep Sclavi’s a destination on Tower Ave.”

Sclavi’s is promoting sidewalk service during the annual Tower Avenue Car Show this Saturday, July 4. The restaurant is located at 1106 Tower Ave., next to the Palace Bar.
