| Founded by Serafino (Sam) and Olimpia
(Ollie) Cerasa, the Lido Ristorante opened its doors in
December 1948. It started out in a little house on
Worthington Street and moved to its present location in
1951, operating with only one dining room. In 1961,
another dining room was added by purchasing the old
Fontana's Market on the corner of Spring and Worthington
Streets. |
| Sam and Ollie built an unbeatable
reputation with their delicious Italian pasta blue
plates, their own fabulous tomato sauce, their friendly
atmosphere, and attentive service provided to all their
customers. During the early years, while raising a
family and working the restaurant, they also catered to
parties and banquets. |
| When their two sons Joe and Don came
into the business, plans were then underway to add a
banquet room to the existing facility to better serve
their customers. In 1972, a banquet room was added. It
was decorated in an Italian stone style, accented with
red tablecloths, and could accommodate functions up to 125
people. |
| Today, the Lido Restaurant original pasta sauce retains the same reputation built by its founders. Many customers who enjoy our fabulous sauce today are second and third generations of families who started out dining at Lido Restaurant over 60 years ago! |
