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!
