Italian Restaurant Closes At Freehold Raceway Mall

FREEHOLD, NJ — An Italian restaurant chain has officially closed its Freehold Raceway Mall location, according to mall officials.

Brio Italian Grille closed at the end of January after its lease expired, the mall’s Senior Marketing Manager Debra Countey told Patch.

Though the restaurant has closed its Freehold location, Countey said the mall is working on plans for the future of the building where the Grille was formerly located.

"Transitions such as this allow us to bring in new retailers and experiences that enhance the mall for our community," Countey said. "We have great plans for the space, so stay tuned for some exciting announcements!"

In addition to Brio Italian Grille’s Freehold location, the restaurant chain also has other New Jersey locations in Marlton and Cherry Hill.

Described as a “casually elegant restaurant that takes its inspiration from Italy’s famed Amalfi Coast” on their website, the Grille offers menu items ranging from flatbreads to pasta, soup, salad, and dessert options like Tiramisu and cheesecake.

Their closure at Freehold Raceway Mall is the latest development in a recent set of expansions and store openings that have brought new styles, dining options and more to shoppers.
