My favorite restaurant growing up everything was delicious then you could grab a pie to take home.

It seemed to be everybody's grandparents' favorite restaurant.

Exactly. My grandmother (the daughter of Sicilian immigrants through Ellis Island) loved this place and lived not far away, in the Capital Heights area behind Calandro's. She loved to be taken there for special occasions, like her birthday, in the 80s and 90s.

She got too old to live alone in BR in the mid-90s, so we moved her to the Acadiana area around that time. What year did it close? :sad face:

I want to say late 90s?

I moved to Houston in 2004 and it had been closed several years.

It was still open in the 00s but not for long. I want to say they closed in 02.
