“We also would also like to thank our great loyal customers who shared their days and evenings with us for all those years. We will cherish the lasting memories and friendships as we turn the page on Casamari and look to the future.”
The LaMarcas opened the business in 1997 as an ice cream shop and then expanded it into a restaurant 10 years later in 2007 to more than 3,000 square feet with Italianate architecture and a traditional interior decor with high ceilings and much natural light.
The building sits on nearly an acre and is listed for sale at $799,000 and also can be leased.
“It’s just a charming place wth a loyal customer following, a fantastic opportunity for someone and a great location (near Route 130, Route 541 and Interstate 295),” said real estate agent James Moffa of Keller William Realty, the listing agency.
