Dalla Tavola Zenari closes after 40 years in downtown Edmonton

Dalla Tavola Zenari, a family-run Italian restaurant in downtown Edmonton, has closed after 40 years of operation. The restaurant faced challenges during the COVID pandemic and rising costs, leading to its decision to shut down on December 31, 2024. The Zenari family, who have been involved in the restaurant since its inception, struggled with tight profit margins and limited financial support. They announced the closure after a court date was set for bankruptcy in early 2025. Despite the closure, Elisa Zenari expressed interest in selling the business and remaining in the restaurant industry. The family noted that many local businesses have faced similar difficulties in recent years.
