JORR mentioned Horwath's. It sounds very familiar but I can't place it.

Was it in Elmwood Park,up on Harlem going towards North Ave.?

Al Biancha's

The most food ever served at one sitting each and every time.
I was just a little boy and don't remember it that well.

Lanza's in Berwyn. It was owned by Mario Lanza's brother-in-law and had some memorbilia behind the glass on display. I remember it being very dark but the Italian food was great.

Soldiers just east in Mont Clare, and bosses just south in River Forest. Great location for a mob restaurant.

I lived on Neva,right down the street from an infamous mob hit that went south when the Asian bookmaker survived. It happened across the street from "the Club" the boys had for playing cards and stuff.

My family lived on Neva before I was born, like 2100 N. My older siblings were all born there. They were in St. Williams.

Not sure it was blown up. Was a mob hangout though. Along with many of the other mob hangouts in good old Elmwood Park.

Holy crap! Golda's!! Loved that place. Haven't found a good Boston shake since tastee freez closed. Rositas in westchester was good as was Gordon's.

We used to go to Armand's and the Rusty Pelican when I was little. I never liked the rusty pelican but I found a coffee mug at good will, I shoulda bought it. I loved armands. The new ones that are popping up aren't very good.

If you are in the area hit up the Armand’s on North Ave in EP. The original owner’s kids run it.

I hated Armands. Still don't understand what the appeal is to their cardboard pizza.

It was sad why that place closed. My family was regulars there. The operators got screwed.

My bad. Can't find a picture, but it was an ad for Kona Kai at the O'Hare Marriott.
