Italian restaurant on Torstraße in Berlin-Mitte stays closed after renovation announcement

Berliner Zeitung reports on the small Italian restaurant Mozzarella & Pomodoro at Torstraße 97 in Berlin-Mitte. According to the paper, the restaurant was first said to be closed for renovation, but after that nothing more was heard from it.

The article says that guests who tried to get a table there in recent months found the door locked. It describes no farewell notice posted at the restaurant and no final evening of service. In the paper's words, the restaurant has simply disappeared. A photo caption notes that pizzas are no longer served there.

The text available to us says it is now clear why the restaurant is not reopening. It also says the article looks at what the situation means for guests who hold vouchers. The reason for the closure and the details for voucher holders are not part of the freely visible text, because the rest of the article is behind a subscription paywall. We therefore cannot say here what the cause is or what voucher holders can do.
