RP’s closed it’s cafe, the Fork & Spoon, on December 22nd of 2008. We were sad to see it go but it was best for everybody here at the factory. It was taking too much energy out of our main focus of making the best fresh pasta in the Midwest. We do not have any plans to reopen it. We are planning on having more cold food options to take away this summer. Maybe even with the patio out on nice days.
Thank you to all of you that ate here and support our efforts. It was fun while it lasted.
