What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives visited Rustica in Moorhead, Minnesota, during the 'Pasta, Potatoes and Pescatarian' episode that aired 2021-04-30 (S34E6), featuring the Italian-leaning pasta and tavern fare the restaurant served on Main Avenue in downtown Moorhead. Rustica operated as an eatery and tavern offering dinner, a drink menu, and private dining. Google Places lists the business's status as permanently closed, checked 2026-09-08. The restaurant's website, dinerustica.com, still returned a working page on 2026-09-08, but the copyright and content showed no current-year information, no active reservation or ordering system, and only a generic careers application link, according to dinerustica.com, consistent with a site left online after the business stopped operating rather than evidence of ongoing service. No fresher source was found showing the restaurant open.
