The Maccioni Family's Hotel Restaurant Sirio to Close Next Month

Sirio, which opened in the Pierre in October of 2012, will be closing its doors February 20. "It was a mutual decision; they have a different vision than we do,'' confirms Mauro Maccioni, son of Sirio and co-owner of the Fifth Avenue restaurant. He says that they are considering transforming Le Cirque's cafe into a pop of version of SIrio. The Pierre will be opening a new restaurant in this space. An inside source says it's called The Tea Lounge, although no word yet on when that new restaurant will make its debut.
