Giuseppe and The Lion Ristorante is now closed

After five unforgettable years, Giuseppe and The Lion Ristorante is officially closed.

What began as a restaurant became so much more — a place for food, hospitality, live music, entertainment, celebrations, familiar faces and community.

We are deeply grateful to every guest who dined with us, celebrated with us, returned time and again and helped make Giuseppe and The Lion such a special place.

Our heartfelt thanks also go to our team, suppliers, neighbours, friends, and the many artists, musicians and entertainers who brought energy, talent and unforgettable moments to our space over the years.

A message from founder Joseph Sutherland:

“Giuseppe and The Lion has been far more than a business to me. It has been a second home, shaped by the dedication of our staff, the loyalty of our patrons, and the warmth of the community around us. Thank you for everything. Every dinner, celebration, song, performance, and shared moment helped make Giuseppe and The Lion what it became.”

With heartfelt gratitude,

Giuseppe and The Lion Ristorante
