What happened to Giuliana's, San Carlos?

I was sorry to hear that Giuliana's (San Carlos, Laurel St, next to Cowabunga) had closed. For us, it was one of those comforting family restaurants that inexplicably winds up being "your" place. Lazy weekday dinners, birthdays, family banquets, wife went into labor there, that kind of thing. Was it a victim of the lean times, or is it being reborn, as it itself rose from the ashes of Ciao Amore "apres" tax scandal?

It is now Viva La Vita. Similar to Giuliana's in concept, American Italian white tablecloth type place. http://vivalavitarestaurant.com/
