A deep history runs through the Barbour Street Mexican eatery --formerly Piedmont Restaurant, the article says.
The facility served as a boarding house for Italian immigrants working in the mills in the late 1800s, and was named after the men coming from the Piedmont region, owner Joe Colucci told NorthJersey.com.
