The Queen Anne Road restaurant started as a family business when Tony LaMorte, the current owner, was 22 years old. He ran the place alongside his siblings, Felicia Roveda, Vic LaMorte, and Debbie Sadowski.
"I'm still here," LaMorte said on a call with Daily Voice.
Not for long.
Tony, of Haworth, has been the chef and owner, and is set to close on Saturday, Nov. 2.
"It's time to retire," LaMorte tells Daily Voice. "Tie to enjoy my life."
LaMorte is married and has two children, both of whom are professional athletes. He thanked his customers for the 46 years.
"I want to thank them all," he said. "They've made it as much as I have. They were a big part of this whole thing."
LaMorte hopes to see his customers in the next few weeks.
