Long Time Lisbon Restaurant Closes " Another One Bites The Dust"

LISBON, Maine -
Graziano's Casa Mia, which served Italian fare for more than 40 years from its location on Route 196 in Lisbon, has closed its doors.

The owners of the restaurant announced the closing Friday morning with a posting on Facebook, saying "The Graziano's have left the building. After 43 years of full bellies, friendly smiles and impassioned dinner conversations, we have closed the doors to our Lisbon location for the final time."

Besides Italian cuisine, the restaurant also was known for its extension collection of boxing memorabilia and photos.
The owners did not give a reason for the closing but thanked their employees as well as their customers and friends.

According to the business' website, the restaurant was founded in 1969 by Joe Graziano, a native New Yorker who moved to Maine in the mid-1960s to open a McDonald's Restaurant in Lewiston. Graziano died in 2000.

The Grazianos could not be reached for additional comment.
