"After 40 years, Laurel’s Pasta Plus is closing its doors. No reason was given for the closure, but 'a week ago, the restaurant said they were closed because of staffing shortages as some of their employees were awaiting COVID-19 test results,' reports ABC7. The beloved restaurant was known for its warm hospitality and a lengthy menu that covered everything from fresh ravioli (and many, many other pasta dishes) to paninis and cold sandwiches to meats, seafood, and Italian cakes and other desserts." - Tierney Plumb
