Beloved Queens Italian restaurant closes for good
Old school Italian Queens red sauce joint Il Triangolo — perhaps best known for its refusal to allow cellphone use while eating — has permanently closed after nearly a decade. A voice recording left by owner Mario Gigliotti on the restaurant’s telephone number lets customers know that the nearly decade-old establishment has closed for good.
“We will deeply miss all of you but our memories together will always be in our hearts,” Gigliotti says in the message. “And remember no cellphones while you dine with your family or friends.”
The restaurant, located in the triangular lot at the corner of Corona Avenue and Junction Boulevard, opened in April 2011. The restaurant quickly established a reputation for the homey, welcoming vibe that Gigliotti developed there along with his wife Pierina Gigliotti, along with the restaurant’s southern Italian menu, and of course the no cell phone rule. “People said that I was crazy having all these rules, especially with the phones, but they thank me now because they taste the food and enjoy their company,” Gigliotti told the New York Times back in 2018.
Il Triangolo now becomes the latest in a long and ever-growing list of restaurants that have closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Since March, more than a 1,000 establishments have permanently closed due to the downturn in business, and the lack of aid to pay for fix costs like rent and utilities.
