One of the newest restaurants in Birmingham's bustling Lakeview District has closed a little more than a year after it opened.

Cashio's Meatball Market -- a trendy eatery with mirrored walls, white marble tabletops and a modern twist on the classic Italian meatball -- closed earlier this week, according to the updated cover photo on the restaurant's Facebook page.

"We've closed," it says.

Cashio's opened in October 2016 at 728 29th St. South, next door to Lou's Pub & Package Store. Previously, the spot had been home to the restaurants Mia Luna and Rags' Italian Bistro.

The menu featured recipes inspired by owner Mary Susan Cashio's memories of the Italian meatballs her grandmother prepared for family gatherings.

One of Birmingham's busiest entertainment districts, the Lakeview area has undergone a growth spurt over the past couple of years, with the openings of such new restaurants and bars as Hattie B's Hot Chicken, Sky Castle, Babalu Tacos & Tapas and, most recently, Bird's Bar & Pizza.

But Cashio's Meatball Market is the second restaurant in the area to close in recent months.

In early October, On Tap Sports Cafe also closed after nearly 15 years at the corner of Clairmont Avenue and 29th St. South.

Owners have announced plans to open another On Tap Sports Cafe in a new development in the Liberty Park area.
