Cioppino Restaurant & Cigar Bar and its sister spot, Osteria 2350, along Railroad Street in the Strip District will be closing at the end of the month.

New Year's Eve will be the last night for upscale Cioppino Restaurant & Cigar Bar as well as its less formal sister restaurant, Osteria 2350, in the Strip District.

"Unfortunately, the pressures of running a fine-dining business have become increasingly untenable," the owners said in a social media post.

Cioppino opened in 2008, and its casual counterpart followed in 2011.

The two Italian restaurants split a building and share a kitchen at 2350 Railroad St.

Other upcoming restaurant casualties in the area include the Hard Rock Cafe in Station Square, Redbeard's Sports Bar & Grill in Mt. Washington and Luke & Mike's Frontporch in Aspinwall.

Vegan ice cream parlor Sugar Spell Scoops in Sharpsburg also will shut down as it pursues a new location next year.
