Angelo Teti continues the traditions of great Italian food and good service started by his Mom.

In 1979, Tillie retired and passed the reins of the family business on to son Angelo Teti. Angelo, along with wife, the former Phyllis Whitaker, continue the strong traditions that his mother started, including most of the menu items his mother had, including spaghetti, gnocchi, lasagna, ravioli and pizza (Tillie was one of the first to sell thick-crust pizza in the area, back in 1947!).

Phyllis Whitaker Teti has become a prime factor in the continued success of the restaurant.
