After 33 years, Carson City’s Garibaldi’s will be closing their doors — unless someone is ready to take up the helm of the Italian cuisine ship.

The official Garibaldi’s Facebook page posted the announcement to their followers Thursday afternoon:

ATTENTION CARSON CITY:
MAJOR COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT

AFTER 33 INCREDIBLE YEARS, GARIBALDIS ITALIAN KITCHEN IS CLOSING ITS DOORS. An unforgettable era in local dining is coming to an end.

After serving our community since 1993, MARK CLAYPOOL has made the heartfelt decision to hang up his apron and step into a well-deserved retirement.

GARIBALDIS ITALIAN KITCHEN will permanently close our doors on Saturday, June 27, 2026.

To our regulars, our neighbors, and every guest who has walked through our doors over the last three decades: thank you. You turned our restaurant into a true neighborhood home. It has been our absolute honor to share milestones, celebrations, and countless meals with your families.

We want to see your faces one last time! We will be operating standard hours through June 27th.

Because we anticipate a busy final few weeks, RESERVATIONS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to ensure we can accommodate everyone. 775-884-4574

Please come by, share a favorite memory, and let us thank you in person for an unforgettable journey.With love and appreciation, MARK CLAYPOOL and the Staff at Garibaldis Italian Kitchen ❤️

As MARK CLAYPOOL steps into retirement, the turn-key business, brand, and fully equipped establishment are available for acquisition. If you are a passionate operator or investor interested in continuing the Garibaldis Italian Kitchen legacy, PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE RESTAURANT LINE DURING DINNER SERVICE.

Instead, serious inquiries may be handled in one of two ways:
