Two Palatine eateries close

Two restaurants located a few blocks apart in Palatine closed this month.

The Pizza Hut, located at 1597 N. Rand Road, and Cucina Bella, located at 2001 N. Rand Road, are no longer operating. The village council voted to removed the establishments' liquor licenses, which brought in a combined $9,000 each year to Palatine.

Cucina Bella still has locations in Algonquin and Crystal Lake.
