Fire at Ortobello’s Restaurant on Bay Parkway
Around 5:45 pm this evening, there was a fire at Ortobello’s Italian Restaurant at 6401 Bay Parkway.
The fire was in the back of the building and extended to two floors. The fire department was able to get it under control fast so it didn’t spread to the dining room. Brooklynites shared many videos of the fire (here).
Thankfully, everyone is alright.
Hopefully, this well-loved Italian restaurant will be able to clean and repair their kitchen and reopen soon.
