Downtown Upland loses two eateries

In case you missed it, downtown Upland has lost one restaurant, is losing another, but is gaining a third.

Already closed is Aria Restaurant and Lounge, which was owned by the same folks who own Antonino’s Italian Restaurant, Haandi Indian Cuisine, Sixty 6 Sports Bar and Lounge and the Magic Lamp Inn in Rancho Cucamonga.

Facebook fan Diana reports that Charlie’s Red, White and Blue American Deli and Bar is moving into the space at 296 N. Second Ave.

Closing Nov. 17 is Las Cazuelitas, down the street at 134 N. Second Ave., Suite K.
While Aria closed due to lack of business, Las Cazuelitas is closing so that its owners can retire after 35 years of running the restaurant.

Update: As occasional contributor Carl points out in the comments below, Charlie’s (now called Charlie’s Stars and Stripes All-American Deli & Bar) is already open!
