"A Rome-based restaurant's first U.S. outpost opened in April 2025 inside the Trump Building in the Financial District after being announced in 2020, but its operational status is now uncertain: a storefront sign cites 'technical problems' and the location appears to have closed suddenly, the Trump Organization's leasing head declined to comment, and multiple calls, texts, emails, and Instagram DMs have gone unanswered even though the restaurant's Instagram remains active and online reservations are still being accepted. The site had previously sat vacant after a planned Dean & DeLuca market fell through and carried stigma because of its Trump association, and the company had publicly eyed rapid New York expansion with several more locations planned this year." - Nadia Chaudhury
