A family-owned Italian restaurant in Dyker Heights that served delicious pasta to everyone from movie stars to moving men has closed its doors for good, the owners announced on Aug. 9.

The Brunos were newlyweds when they first opened their Italian restaurant and watched it grow over the years into a neighborhood staple.
