50 to 75% of all Buffalo restaurants will close by March 2021 with Osteria owner Nick Pitillo

With 50% capacity restrictions and fall coming, the restaurant model is broken. Nick Pitillo, owner of Osteria 166, Villaggio, Stock the Freezer and the new venture Chalet Valet will explain how he continues to innovate as he "kicks the can" in order to avoid becoming part of the wake of upcoming restaurant failures. In this very entertaining episode, we discuss how all restaurant business models need to change, the struggles in the town of Ellicottville, predictions on state restrictions for restaurants, and how Nick upset his mom so much she refused to make him sauce for 2 years. Also, Nick gives a shout out to the CEL, Erin McGee and the Ravioli Ride with Danielle Nyhart at Danifit. Enjoy!!
