Gallo di Nero closes abruptly

Gallo di Nero, an Italian eatery at 1135 Bannock St. in the Golden Triangle, has closed its doors not long after a press event to celebrate the grand opening.

Restaurant owner Josh Barhaug issued a statement that said, “The reasons for the quick closing are as follows: there is a potential buyer for the property; Chef (Darren) Pusateri has accepted an offer at another local eatery and he would like to spend more time with his family.

“Gallo Di Nero’s management team – consisting of Barhaug; Pusateri, and Noel Martin, general manager – would like to thank you for attending last month’s private media event. The team would also like to thank their Denver patrons and restaurant regulars for their business and support.”
