Two Brothers Grill and Pizzeria in Knaresborough has announced it will be closing its doors after nearly 7 years in the town.
The restaurant took to social media to reveal the news and said it is “heartbroken”.
Co-owner Vivien Kovacs said the "difficult and emotional" decision comes despite financial investment and is a result of “failing to overcome the challenges of running a restaurant nowadays.”
It will officially close on Sunday (12th January).
Vivien said:
“We would like to thank our staff, past and present, for being such an integral part of our business and for helping us to provide so many wonderful experiences to our countless guests over the years.
“Restaurant work is not easy. It takes commitment, thick skin, and a really good sense of humour.
“There are no words that clearly express the love we feel for our staff that worked so hard to keep the vision alive.
“It is so rare to find such a committed, hardworking, talented, and friendly staff anywhere. We became a family.”

Two Brothers Grill and Pizzeria first launched in March 2018 when brothers Nandor and Szilard Ravasz opened the business with their wives Vivien Kovacs and Eniko Szenasi.
Vivien added:
“Of course, we give a huge thanks to everyone who has dined with us, whether you've been dining with us for years or just now found us.
“We are grateful for your continued support and loyalty; you are the direct reason for our success.
“You trusted us with your most treasured events: birthday celebrations, graduation dinners, first dates, marriage proposals, engagement parties,baby showers and celebrations of life, and many other completely routine and sometimes totally extraordinary moments.
“What an incredible journey it has been.”
