This is a tragedy, of course: the pasta store will move to a new location, at the corner of Strawberry Creek Park in Berkeley, but without the space for the restaurant, and with only a diminished retail front. The wholesale business of the fresh pasta sheets and ravioli is unaffected, but does it mean we won't be able to find the most olive-loaded olive bread again? The chewiest pecan-and-chocolate chewies? Will there be enough foot traffic outside of the gourmet ghetto to make it worth their while to bake the goodies?
