What happened after Kitchen Nightmares?

La Galleria 33 was a family-run Italian-American restaurant on Salem Street in Boston's North End, owned by sisters Lisa Cerundolo and Rita Moran. The two-part Kitchen Nightmares episode, which aired October 26, 2012, showed heated exchanges between Ramsay and the sisters over the restaurant's cleanliness, staff attitudes, and food quality. Ramsay helped streamline kitchen operations and revamped both the menu and the dining room's design; the results were considered successful enough that Ramsay returned two years later for a 2014 "Kitchen Nightmares Revisited" segment. The restaurant's two-part format devoted separate hours to the family's operational overhaul and to the reveal of the completed redesign, a structure the show used sparingly across its run.

Reviews in the months after the original episode were largely positive: a Yelp reviewer in November 2012 said "the makeover has been a success," and another reviewer in May 2014 called La Galleria 33 a favorite restaurant in the North End, "pre-Gordon Ramsay and post-Gordon Ramsay." Over the years that followed, however, Tasting Table reported (June 13, 2026) that reviews of the restaurant declined, with customers describing flavorless food, slow or rude service, and an unclean dining room.

What has happened since: Tasting Table reported that La Galleria 33 was permanently closed as of late 2018, with no official explanation offered by the owners. Some observers speculated the decline followed the 2016 death of Cerundolo and Moran's father, after which family attention may have shifted to their other restaurant next door, L'Osteria, though Tasting Table characterized this as speculation rather than a confirmed cause. Since the closure, the Salem Street storefront has been occupied by a different restaurant, Libertine, serving a mostly gluten-free Italian and Portuguese menu, according to the same report. Moran later moved to Florida and opened Rocco's Italian Market & Deli in Cocoa Beach in 2024, which itself closed not long after, per Tasting Table. A Yelp listing for the Salem Street address remains marked permanently closed as of a September 2026 update.
