Cherished Italian eatery in Alabama to shut its doors after almost two decades, with intentions to launch a new location.

Terranova’s Italian restaurant in Huntsville, which has been a beloved establishment for almost two decades, will be shutting down on February 2, as announced by the owner.

"With deep sorrow, we announce that Terranova's Hsv will be closing its doors for the final time on February 2nd," wrote owner Dan Oliver on the business's Facebook page.

“We are incredibly grateful for our amazing team (management, servers, hosts/support, and kitchen staff) along with our loyal and cherished guests who have stood by us for the past 18 years.”

"We are grateful for the chance to assist and uplift this community."

The announcement also mentioned that the opening of a new location in Athens at 100 Hwy 31, Suite J, is still on track for late February.

"Throughout this time of change, we kindly invite you to join us in supporting what remains by sharing your favorite servers, offering hugs, and extending well wishes. Above all, we ask that you keep everyone and our families in your thoughts and prayers," Oliver expressed.

"We'll share additional updates as they become available. Thank you, everyone."
