For nearly a decade, Capri's Cuisine brought a taste of Argentina to Norwalk's Main Street. The artisan empanada restaurant, which opened its doors in 2015, was a staple in the community. However, on September 11, the restaurant announced its sudden closure due to the building being sold. The owners, heartbroken, thanked their loyal customers for their support over the years. The closure was met with shock and sadness from the community. Many customers took to social media to express their disappointment and gratitude for the memories they shared with the restaurant. For some, Capri's was more than just a place to grab a meal – it was a gathering spot, a comfort zone, and a reminder of the beauty of cultural exchange. The restaurant's Facebook post read, "From the bottom of our heart, we want to thank everyone that has supported us over these nine years throughout our journey. We are extremely thankful and saddened to be giving these news. " The post also hinted that the owners might not be able to reopen a physical location in the future due to the high real estate prices in the area. As the news spread, the community came together to bid farewell to the beloved restaurant. Customers shared photos and stories of their favorite empanada flavors and memories made at Capri's. The restaurant's windows and doors were covered, but the memories and flavors lingered.
