Oswego restaurant closing its doors after 45 years

Danelli’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria set to close Dec. 29

After being in business for 45 years, Danelli’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria in Oswego is set to close its doors on Dec. 29 because its owners are retiring.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce Danelli’s will be officially closing on Dec. 29,” owners John and Chris Daniels announced in a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page. “We want to thank you all for all the wonderful years and beautiful friendships we have formed over the past 45 years. The laughter and all the memories we will cherish. You were all an integral part of our journey and your overwhelming support meant the world to us. We send you many thanks and blessings this holiday season and always.”

Danelli’s, which is located at 228 E. Washington St. in Oswego, has been at its current location since 1985. Prior to that, it had been at a smaller location near the Fox River in Oswego.
