Nunzi's Restaurant, an Erie favorite for almost 70 years, has closed its doors. 

A post on the restaurant's Facebook page Monday afternoon confirmed the closure. 

The Facebook statement gave no indication as to what caused the restaurant to close, but they said they are thankful to the nearly 70 years of memories the Erie community has provided for them.
