DENVER — A popular Italian restaurant in Denver’s Berkeley neighborhood will be closed indefinitely after an electrical fire.

The owner of Parisi, located at 4401 Tennyson Street, said the fire broke out Tuesday afternoon in a crawlspace between the ceiling and the restaurant’s roof.

A video the owner posted on social media shows extensive roof damage.

“I’m gutted right now,” the owner said in a social media post. “This place (building and biz) is like my firstborn… lots of cleanup, then we should have better details.”

The owner said they will reopen, but she just isn’t sure how long it will take.

On Thursday, she said the space will be completely emptied for fire remediation. She asked for anyone with large boxes to bring them to the restaurant so they can organize and store salvageable items.
