Dear Ercolano Customers,
We would like to say a huge thank you for your amazing support of our family restaurant business.
We are extremely proud of our family hospitality achievements over the past 5 plus years..
The incredible love of community, we were so fortunate to share with everyone in Patterson Lakes and all the surrounding areas is what drove us to produce the best possible customer experience..
Unfortunately due to the huge financial/ mental damage created during the lockdown and the reckless arson attack on February 8th everyone’s family businesses in Patterson Lakes were destroyed..
ERCOLANO Authentic Italian Cucina will not be reopening..
We will be selling all our restaurant equipment including tables and chairs coffee machine fridges and kitchen equipment.
Please inbox Nino Cuciniello directly for details.
We still have quite a lot of both personal belongings and cooking equipment inside our old restaurant and are just awaiting for our landlords/builders to inform us of suitable collection date, so we can sell off our equipment and hospitality equipment no longer required.
The Marana wood fired pizza oven is also for sale.
Cuciniello Family would like to thank you for your wonderful support and patronage over the years..
We wish everyone a wonderful blessed and safe Christmas 🎅 🤶
