Palm Beach Gardens has long been known for its diverse dining scene, featuring just about everything you could imagine from beautiful waterfront locales and Michelin-recognized dining hot spots. It has massive variety of both upscale and fast-casual chain restaurants as well.
But the area is not without its turnover. The first eight months of 2026 have seen three restaurants in the city shut their doors so far.
None was a flash-in-the-pan. Two specialized in Italian cuisine, the third offered a Pan-Asian focus.
Find out what happened to these three Palm Beach Garden restaurants and what may be coming next.
Asian Fin, Palm Beach Gardens
This long-running popular Palm Beach Gardens restaurant on Donald Ross Road closed its doors on March 28. The Pan-Asian fusion destination was
a popular draw for regulars and was known for its high-energy dining room and broad menu. In 2016, Palm Beach Post executive editor John Bisognano reviewed the restaurant and praised their service and consistency. Asian Fin drew good crowds right up until closing with many patrons stopping by to say goodbye to the owners and longtime employees.
Prezzo, Palm Beach Gardens
This once reliable bastion of Italian cuisine closed its doors on June 30. Located on PGA Boulevard, Prezzo had been staple for local diners. Ownership acknowledged that legacy, describing it as a backdrop for “countless memories” over the years. The space is already being transformed into Eddie & Vinny's Coastal Italian. With a location already open and thriving in Coral Springs, the new concept is a more polished, high-energy take on Italian dining.
Grande's Bella Cucina, Palm Beach Gardens
After almost two decades in business, this popular restaurant on Donald Ross Road served its final meals in July 2026. Grande's Bella Cucina opened in 2007 and was well known for its Italian menu, pizzas and courtyard dining. Owner Giuseppe Luppino operated the original Grande's Bella Cucina in New York before bringing the concept to Florida.
