Don’t believe the signs! Though Taste of Romania’s Europa Bistro still flaunts “Grand Opening” flags, the Italian-Romanian eatery at 1652 Sheepshead Bay Road has closed down after less than a year in business.

[Europa Bistro opened in January](/italian-romanian-is-the-new-chinese-mexican/), replacing La Sorrentina II. One of the two owners of the business told Sheepshead Bites’ Robert Fernandez a few weeks ago that he planned to buy out the other owner, and reopen with more of a focus on hamburgers and other quick-fix foods – which could help balance things out on the stretch that’s home to more sushi shops than Tokyo. We just hope they [keep the pastrami](/taste-of-romania-pastrami-on-a-roll-the-bite/).

Whatever happens, best of luck to those involved, and we hope to see this space put to good use soon.
