Dec. 14—The Swiss Chalet Restaurant, Woodland Park's iconic fine dining establishment. 19263 E. U.S. 24, has been sold. The new owners are Roberto and Elizabeth Calcagno, who also operate the recently opened Mountainara Cucina Italiana in Woodland Park. Roberto is also the former owner of Basil and Barley Pizzeria Napoletana in the Springs.

The Swiss Chalet opened in 1962 and has had three owners, the most recent being the Levy family, who ran it for 23 years. The Levys also own The Peppertree.

In a press release, the Levy family said, "Since our father and husband Neil's passing in 2020, our family has deeply considered the best path forward for The Swiss Chalet. In making this decision, we hoped for the opportunity to pass on our restaurant to an enthusiastic and passionate restaurateur with a desire to preserve The Swiss Chalet legacy. It was also of great importance to us that the next owner(s) share our family's desire to positively impact our community. In Roberto and Elizabeth Calcagno, we have found that opportunity."
