Carl reports that Benedetti’s in the Fed Ex/Kinkos Plaza at the corner of Clairmont and N. Decatur is closed.

Whether this closing preceded the recent liquor license crackdown or the old school Italian joint is just the latest victim of a Dept. of Revenue sweep through the Decatur area is yet to be determined.  Can anyone help pinpoint a date?

If you like old-fashioned Italian dining, your closest option might now be Alfredo’s on Cheshire Bridge.

I’m getting a bit worried about what this rash of closings is saying about the local economy.
