The signage still posits this closing as temporary, but the Free Times<\/a> has verified that it is, in fact, permanent.<\/p>\n

This spot has been the home of a number of restaurants over the years, including Capitol Cafe<\/a>, Cat & Cleaver<\/a>, Dunkin' Donuts (almost)<\/a>, Fever<\/a>, and Roll Call Deli<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I never ate at Persona<\/i> due to the fact that I rarely go downtown at lucnch time, and would go some place with parking if I did. I will say that I would not use that name for a restaurant as the first thing I think of is Persona Non Grata<\/i>..<\/p>\n

(Hat tip to commenter Tom)<\/p>\n

UPDATE 7 October 2020<\/b> -- Well oddly enough, this place is unchanged after a bit more than two years. The signage is still up, and the interior looks almost exactly as it did when it closed, down to the delivery moped. The chairs have been tabled though:<\/p>\n

Also adding the map icon.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 8 February 2022<\/b> -- They have finally taken down the Persona<\/i> signage, but have left the possibility that the storefront might be some sort<\/i> of wood fired pizza in the future:<\/p>\n
