TREVISO «The situation is precipitating and brings us back to March. We seem to be reliving the same terrible movie, the one that our father Arturo took from us. We must stop. The authorities should have done it, but as far as we’re concerned, now we close“. So Martina, Michela and Nicola Filippini I have communicated to clients that after a long meeting the decision is stop the activity and turn off the stove. The communication appeared on social media and outside the club. «Dear clients and friends, Alfredo restaurant Given the situation, he decides to close for a while for his protection and ours. We have chosen according to two parameters: the health of each one of us, the economic safeguard of a healthy company. We go with you and for you ».
GOODBYE ARTURO
It is the first restaurant in the city that decides to completely stop the business. Both for restaurant and home delivery. “Perhaps the government should have acted more quickly and harshly,” suggest the Filippini brothers. A decision that contrasts with the mobilization of the vast majority of restaurateurs who ask to be able to work safely and oppose the first restrictions of the decrees that as of October 24 provide for the cessation of activity to the public at 18 with the possibility to withdraw until 22. Undoubtedly, recent experience weighs on the decision of the Filippini brothers. In fact, Covid has not affected them only financially. During the first pandemic wave, Martina, Michela and Nicola lost their father Arturo, who died at the age of 80 last April due to the virus. The patriarch, lord of Treviso and beyond.
SAFETY
“We said goodbye to dad in April. It was our rock, it seemed invincible to us. And instead the virus stopped it – confirms Martina – only those who have lived through this drama can understand the level of risk and the dramatic consequences that Covid brings. We want to take a step back before something happens. None of our staff is in quarantine. We stop before something serious happens.
NO DELIVERY
Filipinos have also chosen not to do take-out service. “Take away food is not improvised – Nicola adds – even during the first lockdown we decided not to do this type of service. We leave this job to those with skills and professionalism. We are developing new plans and new projects ». This summer the Ristorante da Alfredo had reopened with a stand in the heart of downtown. During the August events there was a moving evening dedicated to Arturo by Tema Teatro. A way of combining food and culture according to the best Treviso tradition. Then, with the arrival of fall, the infections began to increase. Ristorante da Alfredo organized yellow lunches last weekend. Then the decision. «We felt that we were going to return – admit the three brothers – that’s why we decided to say enough. We hope that this gesture of responsibility is understood ». Four children (Massimo, 53, who runs the Bulgari restaurant in Tokyo, then Marina, 46, Michela 43, and Nicola 39) and their beloved grandchildren. After Arturo’s death, the three children took over Alfredo’s restaurant. «Today we stopped. But we want to transform ourselves and think about the future. We will make the Christmas tree and we will keep a smile on our lips. As our father would have liked.
