Bona Fides, the Italian restaurant on Second Avenue between Third and Fourth Streets, has been closed of late... The small sign out front says "closed for renovations." There isn't information about the closure on the eatery's website or Facebook page... we called, though there isn't an outgoing message.
Bona Fides has always been a reliable, unpretentious place... able to survive despite the ever-changing tastes and demographics of the neighborhood since opening in 1990...
Anyone hear about what's going on here?
Oh and, we spotted these photos on the Bona Fides Facebook page... "30 Rock" filmed a scene here for the show's 100th episode, which aired last April...
My family went here for years. Many occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays, New Years Eve are special memories. But the owners were very strange. While trying to arrange a surprise 70th birthday party they wouldn't give us a price per person. Then wanted a $20 corking fee for the champagne we wanted (they didn't carry it). And when I called on several occasions concerning the party the owner would answer the phone himself and say he wasn't there until I said "it's you, I know your voice and we spoke yesterday." That was the last time we ever ate there.
