Former Sierra's Restaurant Up for Auction

SUDBURY, MA—After two closings, and two re-openings, Sierra's in Sudbury-or the space it once occupied-is official on the auction block.

It shocked the community when in April of 2013, Acton resident and owners Sam and Erica Cannarozzi suddenly closed the restaurant at 470 North Road after being open for 23 years. Loyal customers were elated when the place reopened that July.

It was shuttered again in 2014 due to taxes owed, taxes the owners hoped to pay off and open a new Italian eatery in early 2015, reported MetroWest Daily News.

The plan is officially off the table, as the former site of Sierra's is going up for auction.

According to the Sudbury Town Crier, Cannarozzi owed $28,000 in real estate taxes, which escalated to $63,849. It was foreclosed with G&D Realty Trust. According to the Town Crier, the auction date was listed as Wednesday, July 28, but an update provided on pesco.com indicates that the auction has been postponed to Sept. 7 of this year due to bankruptcy.

The more than 39,000 square feet of land also includes the 2,754 square foot building that includes a bar, main dining room, two bathrooms, a kitchen, office, basement and parking for 60 cars.

The auction is being handled by Scott M. Jamieson, Esq, Shocket Law Office LLC, attorney for the mortgagee. A deposit of $20,000 by certified or bank check required at the time & place of sale & balance within 30 days.
