Vaso Azzurro to close after 27 years in Mountain View, plans to reopen nearby

Vaso Azzurro, a well-known Italian restaurant in downtown Mountain View, is preparing to close after 27 years at its current location, Palo Alto Online reported.

The owners plan to reopen the restaurant in a new space within walking distance of the current site, though no lease has been signed yet, according to Michael Sadri.

The restaurant is noted for its classic Italian American menu and unique atmosphere where waitstaff occasionally perform operatic songs for guests.

Vaso Azzurro has been owned by the Sadri family since 2005 and is popular with regular customers who are warmly greeted by the family members.

The closure is set for Wednesday, and the owners expressed hope to continue serving the community from a nearby location in the future.
