HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — New changes are coming to the dining landscape in Hillsborough.

Monday marked the final day for Cafe Basilico to be open at Kingsbridge Shopping Center at 378 S Branch Rd. in Hillsborough.

Hillsborough couple and owners Joe Trani and Kari LaSpisa announced on Monday the “bittersweet” news.

Trani and LaSpisa noted that while Cafe Basilico closed, diners can still enjoy their food a few minutes down the road at their newly opened restaurant called The Fresh Fig.

“We’re working hard to bring over as much of Cafe Basilico’s menu as possible while continuing to serve fresh, healthy options you know and love,” said the couple. “We’re so grateful for the support we’ve received over the years at Cafe Basilico, and we can’t wait to welcome you at The Fresh Fig.”
