Another Northeast Ohio staple has closed its doors this month.
On its Facebook page, Carrie Cerino’s announced that has permanently closed as of yesterday after 57 years of business in North Royalton.
“After sharing in the memories of many family events for over 57 years, Carrie Cerino’s Ristorante & Party Center will be closed effective February 18, 2020.
Unfortunately, given the headwinds facing many small businesses in today’s environment, it made it very difficult for Carrie Cerino’s to operate and compete,” it read. “With a heavy heart, owner, Carmen Cerino, made the difficult decision to close and hopes to use the time off to enjoy his growing family. The Cerino Family would like to thank the community and their loyal customers for allowing them to serve them over the years.”

I always loved Carrie Cerrinos, their Mama’s Noodles with the white sauce was one of the greatest things I’ve ever eaten. Amazing memories always there, just very confused and upset about this whole thing. I tried to order on Friday and they weren’t taking carry out orders, then tried to order on Tuesday and they said they were closed because a hood fan was broken. Really sad that I didn’t get to taste their food one last time, I really wish I had any kind of notice they were closing. I would have gone there like every day for a week. Thanks for all the memories
This place introduced a teenage nascent gourmand to Alfredo Sauce and Veil Scaloppini back in the 1970’s, and Italian food was never the same again.
A decade later as an employee of WJW Radio, (down the street), I became a regular, despite being an “eastsider”.
As a venerable Cleveland area institution it will be missed.
What are we supposed to do with our gift cards?
This is sad news, I also loved the Mammas noodles😥
It is great that the owner wants to spend more time with his family, but what about all the people who have paid money and bought gift cards what about there families? It certainly leaves a bad taste on over 50 years of service to the public.
