Eiscafé Costa in Salzgitter closes after 42 years: a farewell to tears!
A popular chapter in Salzgitter's gastronomy comes to an end: The traditional ice cream café "Costa" closes its doors after more than 42 years. On September 28, 2023, the time has come and the Massimo and Mirca Costa couple retire. This decision, which is described as final, has left a deep impression in the community. Since 2024 there have been initial indications of the upcoming closure of the popular café on Burgundenstraße 40, which took a permanent place in the heart for families.
The operators, Massimo (68) and Mirca Costa, look back on an eventful time in which they have built up a special bond with their guests. Mirca emphasizes that she was able to maintain many personal relationships with numerous visitors. The families often celebrated special occasions there, which made the ice cream parlor a familiar place for young and old.
a loss for the community
'There is something about' - sadness is noticeable among the regular guests. Many are affected by the closure of a place that was known not only for delicious types of ice cream, but also for social exchange moments.
The ice cream parlor was famous for its classic varieties, but in particular the "potato ice cream" put it on the map in the region. This combination of tradition and innovation made the business an attraction. However, Massimo Costa increasingly had difficulties with the requirements of the company and now wishes more time for his family, since the Costa family will also move to Italy.
Mircha Costa thanks for the loyal support of her customers who fulfilled the business with life over the years.
The change in gastronomy
This closure is not only the withdrawal of a sole proprietorship, but is a more comprehensive trend of gastronomy. According to a study by BSI AG, it turns out that the restaurant visit loses importance, which reveals deeper sociological and psychological changes. More and more people live in one -person households and often even feel social isolation as positive. These developments could not only influence the way we eat, but also the social rules associated with the visit to the restaurant.
Technological innovations and the common practice of "solo dining" promote the change in eating behavior and make social exchange less relevant in traditional gastronomies. DetailsOrt Burgundenstraße 40, 38226 Salzgitter, Deutschland Quellen
