Vincent Sotile. I think his family was originally from Corleone Sicily.

It was John Brady's after DiNardos.

Thursday night one dollar Geert Grenades and 5 dollar loaded Butch burgers. Man I miss it.

It was Vince Sotile's place until he delivered the cash to the judge that let Edwin's marine shale guy off the hook.

It was originally called Vince's or Vince O Teals (spl). It was owned by the people that owned Vince's Bar (now George's) and Vince's Market. It was next to the bar, on corner of Highland & Staring

It was at one point. I remember going there when I was a little feller and Gus comming to our table and taking sports. I specifically remember they had just announced the Dream Team and he was ranting and raving about it. So that had to be early 92.

Before Dinardo's it was TJ's Highland House, as in TJ Moran. TJ was the owner of Dinardo's as well as Ruffino's until not long before his death. Or so I've been told. Don't ever remember it being associated with John Brady.

You triggered a memory. Quite presumptuous - if that is the word - of Dinardo to start restaurant in third year. Even if was just use of his name whatever it showed a lack of focus. Looking to Cash in too early. That might not fly in this day and age.

I'm 99.9% sure he went to jail for bribing a federal judge, correct?
