MATTAPOISETT — Rustico, a pizza-and-more restaurant on Route 6 in Mattapoisett, will be closing at the end of the week. A Facebook post made by the owners cited “current economic challenges” as the reason why.

Rustico originally opened in Mattapoisett in 2018 before changing ownership two years ago.

According to the Facebook post, the Rustico owners “welcome inquiries regarding partnerships or a full purchase of the business and property.”

The post has received an abundance of support from the community, including over 75 comments.

“We are proud of the journey we’ve shared with you, the memories created and the relationships we’ve built,” read the post. “Your smiles, laughter and encouragement every day and we are grateful to have been a part of your lives.”

Residents are invited to have one final meal at the restaurant this week “to say goodbye in person”, the post read.

“Thank you for making these past two years unforgettable,” it said. “While this chapter comes to a close, the moments we’ve shared will always remain a part of our story.”

Rustico will be open from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. for the remainder of the week.
