Right. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why Leopardo canā€™t have a replacement-level communications / social media presence. It is inexplicable how they canā€™t get even basic stuff right. The pizza is good but the place just seems so poorly managed, and for no apparent reason.

Itā€™s difficult to stay staffed up right now, even places like Somni are having trouble

As in ā€œweā€™re just close friendsā€ or ā€œhospitalized due to exhaustionā€?

I believe they will reopen with pizza and a limited menu and then a new larger menu, but the real reason for closure is to overhaul the seating/decor.

Was this change an attempt to boost sales/profitability, or was this always the plan?

Ha ha ha. The evolution of the place has been pretty chaotic.

I heard theyā€™re getting a metal slug machine

believe me or not, but he wasnā€™t part of the closures

Unfortunately, most restaurants are not very transparent on closures. Itā€™s usually cause the ownership just doesnā€™t want to spend anymore money and the most expensive part of owning a restaurant is the labor. More often than not we see restaurants suddenly close than have farewell tours nowadays. Restaurants are undercapitalized in general. Thatā€™s why these stories feel similar but itā€™s more a symptom of restaurant ownership
