NORTHFIELD, NH — A patron of a restaurant destroyed by fire Sunday is hoping to raise money for the family owners via a GoFundMe.com effort.
Ciao Pasta, an Italian eatery in Northfield, was damaged beyond repair during a two-alarm Sunday which drew firefighters from across the Lakes Region and central New Hampshire.
Hayley DeSousa, a patron of the restaurant and friend of the owners, said she could not "sit by and do nothing," so she set up the fund hoping to raise $20,000. Since the creation of the site two days ago, about $1,800 has been raised from 24 donors.

The restaurant, according to its Facebook site and reviews online, offered traditional Italian fare and "designer dishes" to customers. According to its website, it had just started providing indoor seating five weeks ago after the Safer At Home order was issued in New Hampshire.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
