CLAYTON, Mo. — A longtime downtown Clayton eatery is closing, as its site is being targeted for redevelopment by two local groups.
Located at 22 South Central Ave., Pasta Plus — an Italian restaurant known for its assortment of pastas, pizzas and subs — will close June 30, owner Carla Ounanian said.
“We’ve been here for 31-plus years,” she said. “It was a very, very hard decision, but I felt it was just time.”
There have been discussions about tearing down the building housing Pasta Plus as far back as 2009, she said.
St. Louis-based developer Green Street Real Estate Ventures LLC and Maryland Height-based hotel developer Midas Enterprises in March 2022 proposed a $100 million, mixed-use development for the site.
Located at the southeast corner of Central Avenue and Forsyth Boulevard in Clayton, the development would include a 25-story high-rise with 73 condominium units and 180 hotel rooms.
