A downtown Cincinnati burger joint is now permanently closed after almost 10 years in business.
Americano opened on Race Street near Fountain Square in late 2015 where it offered a menu of burgers, fries, beers and other American-style comfort fare. As of Tuesday, Feb. 4, the restaurant was listed as permanently closed on Google, its social media and website have disappeared and it’s no longer listed in 3CDC’s online commercial space directory. On the restaurant’s exterior, 3CDC has also posted leasing information.
It’s not clear when exactly the restaurant closed or why.
Americano owner Angel Batista also shuttered his Latin American restaurant Maize in Over-the-Rhine this past November, writing on social media, “To our amazing team, past and present, thank you for your hard work and dedication. To our families, thank you for standing by us each step of the way. And to our guests, thank you for allowing us the privilege of serving you unforgettable moments, crafted with our signature SAZÓN.”
