Paradiso, the low-key Italian cafe run by Alessandra Veronese and her husband Jose at 105 Avenue B, has closed.

A sign greeting patrons here near Seventh Street notes that they are "moving on! To wherever the future is taking us!"

Not sure at the moment why the cafe closed. They opened here in January 2009.

There's a new listing for the space, which has a $4,200 monthly asking rent.

Veronese previously operated La Casalinga (1991-2008) at 120 First Ave. near Seventh Street.

Paradiso on Avenue B

Paradiso, an Italian cafe that serves homemade sweets (like Tiramisu) and sandwiches, opened last week at 105 Avenue B near East Seventh Street. (The former spot of Bang On, the hipsterized T-shirt shop.) I stopped by Paradiso to check out their coffee. It's nice and strong. The proprietor and her husband are about as friendly as you can get. And she gave me a free cookie. I'm easy.
