Old World Italian, which was featured on season six of Restaurant Impossible, will be closing for good after September 7th according to WMBF.  Despite a lot of good reviews, the restaurant located at Murrells Inlet, SC just couldn't get enough customers to come into their restaurant.

Business was 'booming' after the show filmed in February, and once again when the show aired in April, however the owners claim this was one of the slowest summers ever.



The property has also been for sale for quite some time, and the current listing has the property priced at $199,900.  The description on the property listing states:

"Recently renovated and in excellent condition. Shows very well. Best of the Beach Award for 5 years. Recently featured on national TV. Well established restaurant with great reputation and repeat clientele. Good Mom and Pop or family business - locals favorite. Hwy. 17 S. location just south of Inlet Square Mall in the midst of shopping, subdivisions, short drive to the Beach."

The price also includes the business, equipment, inventory, and signs.

Old World Italian is the first restaurant from the latest season of Restaurant Impossible to close.  The Restaurant Impossible Update Page has been updated to reflect this closing.
