An Italian restaurant on the North Shore has closed its doors.
According to a Facebook thread within the Essex, MA--Notices and Issues Facebook group page, Vita Bella Ristorante is no longer in business, with an auction page confirming this, saying "Vita Bella Ristorante Restaurant Auction" and "Restaurant closing down permanently" while showing the location of the auction as the address of the dining spot. (A check on its website indicates that it has been taken down, as has its Facebook page.) Vita Bella first opened in the summer of 2023, taking over the space where Windward Grille had previously been.
The address for the now-closed Vita Bella Ristorante was 109 Eastern Avenue (Route 133), Essex, MA, 01929.
