Bona Vita Osteria to Remain Closed Tonight

JCP&L unit has yet to arrive to assess damage, make repairs.

Bona Vita Osteria will remain closed tonight after an electrical issue caused a smoke condition.

An overload in wires from the transformer located under the sidewalk directly in front of the restaurant caused a smoke problem in the basement, said restaurant manager Rocco Flores.

"It has also left us without power to our building," he said.
