Collins Road Biaggi's shuts down, offering gift card refunds
The 25-year-old Cedar Rapids Italian restaurant closed on June 29 without giving a public reason.

Diners holding gift cards for the closed Biaggi's in Cedar Rapids can seek refunds through corporate channels following the restaurant's permanent closure.
The establishment, situated at 320 Collins Road NE, closed on June 29, 2026, after serving the community since 2001. Biaggi's did not provide a public reason for shutting down the location in its closure announcement.
Customers seeking to redeem existing balances can use their gift cards at remaining locations, with Davenport identified as the closest surviving restaurant. For those unable to visit another site, refunds can be requested by emailing giftcards@biaggis.com along with the card number, full name, mailing address, and phone number.
The closure marks the end of a 25-year run on the city's northeast side. In its public announcement, the restaurant thanked patrons for two and a half decades of memories.
"It has truly been an honor to serve this community," the statement said. "We sincerely hope to have the privilege of welcoming you to one of our other locations and apologize for any inconvenience."
