Vita Sociale, formerly Centro, closed in distress

The Italian restaurant known as Vita Sociale has closed its doors with a notice on the door indicating rent owing of some $348,964.22. It is a tough business and  the restaurant’s owner, Annando Mano, defied the odds in a previous incarnation as the celebrated Centro. The allure of Centro captured a generation as the place for romantic twosomes and family parties during the 80s and 90s.
