After 13 years, Agustín Kitchen has permanently closed its doors at Mercado San Agustín. The space already has its next chapter lined up. Il Santo, an Italian concept from hospitality veteran Vito Prencipe and fifth-generation Tucsonan Bonnie Callahan, will take over the space. “I leave this chapter with mixed emotions as I say goodbye to our friends, patrons and colleagues at Agustín Kitchen. It’s with gratitude and admiration that I thank our managers, chefs, staff, and purveyors both old and new for their years of collaboration. Agustin Kitchen has meant so much to so many over this time and has been a beloved anchor in the Mercado District community.” — Owner Adam Weinstein Read the article on Tucsonfoodie.comAfter 13 years, Agustín Kitchen has permanently closed its doors at Mercado San Agustín.
