Last week, in our annual Cheap Eats issue, I went on a quest to find a really good plate of spaghetti in Spokane. Thinking I'd find no good pasta, I found four delicious plates of spaghetti — one, of which, was at Cafe Italiano, on Spokane's far north side.
Welp, my thrill for the strip-mall joint just deflated. The restaurant posted this on its Facebook page on Monday:
Cafe Italiano will be permanently closed Feb 1st. Thanks for all the support from our loyal customers over the last couple years. As a way to go out with a bang, all drinks (sodas, beer & wine) will be 1/2 off until they're gone. Stay tuned for more information about our new location, etc.
Dammit, economy! We're hoping this "new location" is a little closer to Inlander HQ...

We were planning on getting into the vin rouge location, but the purchasing party decided to back out at the last minute, after we had moved all equipment not purchased, and toss all perishable inventory.
thank you to everyone who has been supportive through this tough time we´re experiencing.
For the foreseeable future, we´re still keeping Indian Trail on the map, with "Spokane´s Best Kept Secret."
