What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

For the 'Aces of Authenticity' episode (aired 2013-10-21), Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Torino's @ Home, an Italian trattoria in Albuquerque known for its housemade pastas and family-style service. The restaurant operated at 7600 Jefferson St NE. According to comments on a Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog post (nmgastronome.com, last updated 2026-03-31), original owners Maxime and Daniela sold the business on 2016-02-15, and new owners Jenna and Daniel John had taken over its assets by 2016-02-21. That same blog page's title now carries a closed designation, and a separate business-directory page for Torino's @ Home lists the Jefferson Street location as permanently closed. No source located by this review gives a reliable exact date for the eventual closure under later ownership.
