Dear Swift Current Community and Beloved Patrons,
With heavy hearts, we must share the bittersweet news that Trattoria Raccolto will be closing its doors on December 23rd, 2025. This decision comes after a deeply reflective year filled with both challenges and cherished memories.
Throughout our journey, we have poured our hearts and souls into creating a welcoming space that reflects the fun and vibrant spirit of Raccolto. We’ve faced numerous challenges in navigating the complexities of partnerships and management, all while striving to deliver unforgettable dining experiences in a rapidly changing economy. Our dedication to Raccolto has always been about more than just a business; it has been a labor of love for our remarkable team and the community we hold dear.
As owners, we stepped into this role with the intention of being investors. However, when difficulties arose, we knew we had to invest even more of ourselves—emotionally and financially—to keep Raccolto alive during difficult times and to support our hardworking staff. We fought valiantly against the challenges rooted in Raccolto’s early days, but despite our best efforts, we now face a journey we cannot continue.
As we reflect on this chapter and all the work that has gone into the creation of Raccolto, we feel immense gratitude for the incredible individuals who have walked alongside us: our dedicated staff members, many of whom have been part of the Raccolto family since the beginning, our outstanding general manager Becki Hattum, whose leadership has truly inspired us all, and our dear friends Tanner Hyswick and Alex Laird, whose guidance and support have proven invaluable throughout our journey.
As we prepare to close this chapter, we are filled with appreciation for the community that has supported us and shared in our vision. We would like to invite you to join us for a drink or a meal in the coming weeks to express our deepest gratitude for the extraordinary dedication and kindness of our staff, who have demonstrated remarkable courage, kindness, and resilience in the face of very challenging news. Thank you for being an integral part of our story, for the memories we have created together, and for your unwavering support.
With all our love and gratitude,
The Trattoria Raccolto Owners
