La Torretta Italian Grill in Weston to Close After 34 Years of Service. La Torretta Italian Grill, a well-known eatery in Weston's Indian Trace neighborhood, will permanently close its doors on January 11 after 34 years in business. The decision follows reports of sharply increased rents imposed by new landlords at Weston Lakes Plaza, making it challenging for the longtime owners to continue operating. The restaurant is recognized for its Italian-American dishes and deep ties to local community events. This closure follows other recent shutdowns of established dining spots in Weston.
