WORCESTER — Chioda's Trattoria at 631 Franklin St. will close in late November, according to an announcement Thursday on the restaurant's Facebook page.

The restaurant's last day of business will be Nov. 26. The restaurant is operated by the Chioda family.

"We would like to thank all our patrons for your loyalty over the past 18 years. We had many good years serving all of you, without the dedication of all of you, we would not have been here for so long," the announcement from the Chioda family said. "The time has now come to the end."

The restaurant was noted for being an Italian restaurant off the beaten path from the more traditional hubs for restaurants in the city before several other restaurants.

In January, Chioda's Trattoria received $5,000 from the Massachusetts Conference of Women, as part of its $40,000 distributed to 80 women-owned businesses to help them during the pandemic.
