Pettirosso loves you Seattle, but the path of small business is crushing right now. We would have stayed forever but we are exhausted and frustrated on all fronts. We stayed open everyday during the pandemic, the protests, snow storms, years of construction, and gentrification, but it is now our time. The building is slated to be be gutted in the near future, and the thought of having to keep fighting through Covid only to go straight into having to pay for yet another build out of Cafe Pettirosso, and then straight into a massive raise in the rent, is too much. Our lease is up at the end of February, and we have decided to end our tenure on our terms. We love you Robin Wright for creating Cafe Pettirosso and we love you Capitol Hill!!! Our last day of business will be February 6. Thank you for an amazing 27 years!!!
