Ken Guercia closes his Conversations Restaurant for the last time on Saturday, Oct. 31.

He bought the restaurant at 441 Forge Rd., East Greenwich five years ago from Rose Farina. She opened Conversations after closing the Golden Lantern, restaurant to the stars who appeared at the Warwick Musical Theater.

Business has been off, Guercia said.

"The economy caught up to me, especially with all the competition," he said.

He didn't want his customers to show up and find a locked door with no explanation.
