Maggiano\u2019s Little Italy, a Garden City Italian eatery known for family-style fare and large portions, will soon be closing its doors, according to state filings.<\/p>\n
Maggiano\u2019s, located near the Roosevelt Field mall at 600 Garden City Plaza, will cease operations on Aug.\u00a026, according to on-site management there, laying off 57 workers at the eatery. The restaurant, which seats 280\u00a0and has banquet dining room space for events, notified the state of its closure plan in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice posted Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The restaurant, which opened in late 2015, is owned by Brinker International, which also owns national dining chain Chili\u2019s Grill & Bar.<\/p>\n
Officials with Brinker did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday.<\/p>\n
While the WARN notice lists a Sept. 28 closure date, citing the expiration of the restaurant\u2019s lease as the reason for the closure, local management at Maggiano\u2019s said it would be closing in late August.<\/p>\n
Brinker is currently working with some impacted employees to relocate them to nearby Chili\u2019s locations, the manager said.<\/p>\n
Maggiano’s has no other locations on Long Island or New York City, according to the restaurant website. The closest locations to the Island are in Hackensack and Bridgewater, New Jersey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
