Fortunato's in Lyndhurst

[jpr54_]

On my way to work this morning I noticed the sign for the reastaurant was down-

did they close?

If they did, that's VERY recent. As in, within the 7-10 days.

I drove by last night and there were some lights on in the dining room, but since they've been closed on Mondays, that's par for the course. There were lights on upstairs, though.

I googled up their phone number; it goes to an answering machine that identifies itself as Fortunato's. I just called right now, so they might not be open for lunch yet, but I'll try again later.

I hope this is just a case of sign repair. I'll cry for weeks if Fortunato has closed. ;-;

They were open as of Friday night. I had a dinner reservation that I had to cancel because my husband was stuck down in South Jersey until midnight.

I didn't think that Fortunato was open for lunch anymore - unless they had reopened.

They closed on Saturday...it was sold 3 weeks ago but they stayed open for some catering contracts

Jeff will begin construction of a new place in Montclair in Dec...so it says here

Great. Just what Lyndhurst needs-another pizzeria. Unless it's A Mano, which I (sadly) know it isn't, why would anyone open ANOTHER pizzeria in this town?!?

This sucks. It's gonna be tough choosing Montclair places now... there's so many I haven't tried yet. Jeff's new place will be my first pick, of course, but it's sad seeing one of the best places in Jersey close, double that since it was so local and wonderful.
