Cafe Symposio closed in Bellmore

Cafe Symposio, a Bellmore fixture for more than 15 years, has closed. The gracious Italian restaurant often served as a setting for live piano music.

I recall, back in 2009, being bowled over by crisp, puffy, near-perfect Margherita pizza. Yet a mere month later, I ordered the same pie and ended up with a far lesser version.

A sign out front heralds the coming of a churrascaria. Updates to follow.
