You can still make plans for lunch and dinner at Sonny’s Italian Kitchen in Sturgeon Bay this weekend despite a chimney fire there Friday morning. An aluminum cap above the chimney on its wood-burning stove caught fire and eventually made its way down. Sonny’s Italian Kitchen owner Jason Estes says customers were never in danger, but the 10-foot flames that came out the top of the chimney still made it scary.
The wood-burning stove will get a check-up on Monday, so Friday’s fire is bad news for Sonny's Neapolitan pizza fans. However, the restaurant is still open and the rest of Sonny’s menu is still available.
