**New Jersey:** The Gigante brothers, a popular TikTok family known for their food content, have announced the closure of their family-owned pizza restaurant, Da Mimmo. The decision comes after a scathing review by celebrity chef Gordan Ramsay in a 2012 episode of “Kitchen Nightmares”.

The brothers, Vincent, Antonio, and Vito Gigante, have a combined following of over 10 million on TikTok, with a strong presence on Instagram and YouTube as well. They had taken over the family business, hoping to capitalize on their online success.

Despite the brothers’ popularity and the restaurant’s longstanding presence in the New Jersey community, Da Mimmo will be shutting its doors permanently on September 30th. The Gigante brothers announced the closure via Facebook, expressing gratitude for the support they received and the memories made.

The restaurant’s appearance on “Kitchen Nightmares” exposed significant problems with Da Mimmo’s food and management. Gordan Ramsay was particularly critical of the pizza, describing it as “soggy” and “processed,” and lambasted the brothers for their lack of effort in promoting the restaurant despite their online presence.

Ramsay’s harsh criticism and subsequent exposure of the restaurant’s issues likely contributed to the decision to close. While the Gigante brothers enjoyed online success, they failed to translate that into real-world success for their restaurant. The closure of Da Mimmo serves as a reminder that online popularity alone doesn’t guarantee success in the real world.
