The Gorga family’s East Hanover, NJ restaurant is shutting its doors less than a year after it opened.

“They are in the process of closing down their current location and seeking a larger location,” James J. Leonard, an attorney for Joe Gorga, Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice, told Page Six on Friday. “They are seeking different management to run it.”

“Their focus is getting a bigger flagship restaurant in New Jersey and then expanding,” he added. “I would anticipate the reopening of the restaurant to be a family affair and Teresa would be receptive to taking a more expansive role.”

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars opened Gorga’s Homemade Pasta & Pizza in front of cameras this spring, with Melissa telling her husband she wanted to take a backseat to the family business to focus on her Envy fashion boutique. Joe’s sister Teresa was portrayed on the show as more hands-on with the restaurant, but an insider told Page Six that her “involvement was more for the cameras than anything else.”

“She has not been involved with whatever has happened since filming,” the insider said. “Teresa had in essence no involvement in the running or managing of the restaurant.”

Joe, 38, opened the Italian eatery in May as a tribute to his late mother, Antonia. His father, Giancinto, can be seen on the show helping the chefs. Page Six reported that the restaurant received a poor health inspection report in July after the scenes were shot.
