A dining staple of the Crabtree Valley Mall closed apruptly this week after more than 15 years in business.
The Raleigh location of Brio Italian Grille is now closed, according to the brand’s website and a recorded message on its phone line, when The News & Observer attempted to contact the restaurant.
Like the Raleigh location, many of the country’s Brio locations were in major shopping malls, but in the last few years the brand has seen a national shrinking, permanently closing several locations.

The restaurant appears to have quietly closed this week, with one customer posting on Facebook that they had received a surprising call that their weekend reservation would be canceled.
With the closing of Raleigh’s Brio, the brand has only one location left in North Carolina, located in the Harrah’s Casino Resort in Cherokee.
Brio first opened in Raleigh in 2009 and operated in the mold of other popular upscale Italian chains like Macaroni Grill and Maggiano’s.
