Closed.
Not much of a contender.

Did they close today??????????. Gee, I had dinner there last night.
The food was very good. We (my brother and sister-in-law are visiting) went to Como Como first (at 7:30) and there was no tables available not unless you had a reservation.

Rick you might be thinking of The Tower (an Italy restaurant on AV. 5) that has closed.

Now on a sort of down note: The 3 of us all eat the same food (caprese salad and fettucini with puttanesca sauce) at La Rampa and my brother got sick (vomiting). We did have lunch (all ordered different items) at Cueva del Chango. Can't say whether the food at La Rampa or Cueva made him sick. He is somewhat better today.

Dude...I know where I was and what I was looking at. Unless The Tower is on 38th, a half block west of 5th with a sign that says "La Rampa"
But it's Monday. Some restaurants are closed on Mondays - so that may be the situation.

All that I can say is that it was open last night (Sunday night). They just hired (one month ago) a new chef from Turin, Italy by way of Puerta Vallarta.

And The Tower is closed for good.

I'm guessing it's a Monday thing.

Is the Pizza better with the new chef than it was before, you had told me you thought it to be a bit bland before.
