Thieves Steal Outdoor Dining Tent From Strongsville Winery

STRONGSVILLE, OH — Thieves stole an outdoor dining setup from a Strongsville winery last week.

The Carso Rosso Winery, 19583 Hunt Road, uses translucent, igloo shaped shelters to allow outdoor dining. On early Wednesday morning, someone went to the winery and stole one of the igloos.

"This sad act of theft rendered us disheartened,especially during a pandemic when small businesses continue to struggle. However, even with this set back our commitment to you and our community will not falter," the winery's owners said on social media.

The igloo was worth $1,500, according to a police report obtained by Patch.

"I couldn't believe someone just walked off with it," said Adam Zambetti, owner of the winery.

The winery's owners have filed a report with Strongsville police, according to Chief Mark Fender. Anyone with information on the theft should contact investigators at 440-238-7373.

For anyone who wants to show support to Carso Rosso Winery, Zambetti had a simple suggestion.

"Give us a try, taste our wines and see what kind of experience we can provide," he said. He added that he's already been staggered by the community's response to the theft.

"We're just proud and honored to be part of this city. Everyone has been amazing," he said.
