Lollo Ristorante Pizzeria & Bar, located at 27 Avenue B between Second Street and Third Street, has been dark lately.
Google lists them as temporarily closed, though OpenTable marks them as permanently closed. (Calls to Lollo go unanswered.)
After an extensive renovation, Lollo debuted this past November.
The space was previously home to the always-dependable Solo Pizza, which closed following a rent hike in September 2022 after 15 years in business.

Not surprised. I went once and it was mediocre at best. Too many good Italian restaurants in this area to compete. Also there hours never made sense to me. Closed on Sundays and only open at 5p. Clearly didn’t take advantage of the brunch crowds
Not true. The food was fantastic. Truly authentic. I still dream about that bolognese.
It had paper up on some of the windows and ups notices stuck on the gate today. Make of that what you will, but looks closed
Mmmm, I still think about Solo Pizza’s grandma slice 😋
They have very good reviews across all channels so it’s just you.
Something going on in EV. Places close and it takes forever for openings to occur. Still have a list of 4-5 restaurants I’ve read we’re supposed to open in the summer that have yet to open and this has been going on for years now.
it was sold
What's authentic Italian?
A place with “fantastic” food and “good reviews” (which can be fake) doesn’t just close after a year. They had very little business because the food ain’t great
@915: they had very little business because most people avoid restaurants past Ave A unless it’s an establishment they’ve heard of
The problem is that there are too many bars and restaurants. Everyone thinks there is an unlimited number of customers, but obviously there are not. The customer base is spread too thin, and these new places sit empty, and are not able to pay the astronomical rent that landlords are asking. The community board needs to stop approving new liquor licenses to support our existing business. Every new business takes customers from existing business.
I loved that that place always had Italians working there, certainly added a charm. Seems the owners were from Italy too. Good food, and one of the cheapest corkage fees in the neighborhood out of the Italian joints (if we're not counting Picolla Stradda). Shame it's closing
