Story summary

Ciao Hospitality Group, a relatively unknown restaurant company founded by Jeff Crivello and Charles Davidson in 2024, has taken over several less successful locations of Fireman Hospitality Group, which declared bankruptcy after the death of its founder, Shelly Fireman. Ciao will operate Paris Bar, two Brooklyn Diner locations, and Brooklyn Deli, while more profitable establishments like Trattoria dell’ Arte, Fiorello’s, and Bond 45 are now owned by Landry’s Inc., controlled by Tillman Fertitta. The less appealing Fireman Hospitality Group properties in Washington, DC, and National Harbor, Maryland, will be closing this month.

Ciao aims to rejuvenate struggling brands for long-term growth, according to its mission statement on their website. This acquisition highlights the ongoing restructuring of restaurant chains following financial difficulties and shifts in ownership.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
