Nina & Rafi, an Italian restaurant that opened in 2018, has closed and been sold to Damian Otero, owner of Rreal Tacos. The decision is attributed to challenges posed by the pandemic, as confirmed by a statement from Nina & Rafi. Co-founded by Billy Streck and Anthony Spina, the restaurant reportedly generated over $3 million in annual sales. Otero plans to use the 3,800-square-foot venue, which includes a dining room and patio, for his expanding taco business, though future plans for the space remain uncertain.
"The truth is, the impact of 2020 hit the restaurant industry hard. And like many others, we faced challenges that made it difficult to fully recover."
"Despite our best efforts, the circumstances surrounding our closure were ultimately out of our control," reads a statement from Nina & Rafi on Instagram.
