All of the team members at Mediterraeno have been offered new positions amongst the expansion of the other properties, thus no one losing their job. Caffe Dolce Vita will be converting its menu in the next couple of weeks to feature long time favorites from Meditteraneo at new pricing.
The new owner of the real estate will soon announce a new tenant to occupy the space not leaving it vacant for long.
