A week after Graffiato’s Chinatown location temporarily closed for unpaid rent, the restaurant has permanently closed, Washingtonian reports. It’s the latest blow to the Mike Isabella Concepts group since owner and restaurateur Mike Isabella was sued for sexual harassment in March.

Graffiato’s social media channels have been silent since July 15.

When Graffiato opened in 2011, DCist writer Josh Novikoff praised the small menu of Italian dishes, including pizzas, small vegetable appetizers, and hand-cut pastas. “Each bite is better than the last,” Novikoff wrote. “The place is a real winner.”

In an interview with Washingtonian published Tuesday, Top Chef alum Isabella said the closure was part of a larger downsizing plan that could include shutting down “one or two more” restaurants.

His portfolio of restaurants has seen plenty of change over the last few years, with the opening of Arroz near Shaw, the Isabella Eatery food hall in Tyson’s Corner, and Requin at The Wharf. Isabella’s Virginia outposts have been less successful, with the closure of Richmond’s Graffiato location and Mosaic District’s Requin just this year.

News of the closing of Graffiato, Isabella’s first restaurant, comes four months after the Washington Post broke the news that the chef was being sued for “extraordinary” sexual harassment by a former manager at one of his restaurants. Isabella later settled the lawsuit for undisclosed financial terms, but the fallout from the news was swift: Isabella’s restaurants were disqualified for D.C.’s RAMMY awards; the Washington Nationals replaced all his food stands at their park; and his colleagues, including chef Michael Rafidi of Arroz and Requin and Jennifer Resick Williams, his publicist, severed ties with him, according to the Post. His restaurants were also removed from guides and lists on Eater, and Requin was deemed ineligible for inclusion in the Washington Post’s spring dining guide.
