Alto Pino, a restaurant in downtown Duluth, announced Tuesday that it will close in early October.
The restaurant is on W Superior Street near Lake Avenue. It opened in late 2024.
“I have made the difficult decision to close Alto Pino Restaurant,” an email from chef and owner Lauren Aldinger said. “Our last day for reservations will be Friday, October 2. I will share more about the reasons for closing in the coming weeks.”
The restaurant served Mediterranean-inspired dishes like seared halloumi and lamb skewers.
“Words cannot express my deep gratitude, admiration and respect for Sous Chef Dakota, Sommelier Anna, Chef Noah, Haley, Tyler and Erik,” she wrote. “From the high quality food, to the beautiful and unique wine list and cocktails, to the caring service that puts guests at ease, to the absolutely pristine dish room – this team has raised the bar in each of their departments.”
Aldinger said due to staffing restraints and food prep in the last two weeks, reservations are required. They can be made online or by calling (218) 464-1380.
