Indeed, 38 years is a great run! But it was very tough on Terri after Rich's passing in 2022, and she deserves some time away from the grind to enjoy life.
I said that when Luigi's closed in the same building..SRV1990 wrote: ↑03 Sep 2024 14:28 pm What an incredible 38-year run it was for Rich and Terri LoRusso:

Indeed, close but no cigar lol. Neither is my favorite Trattoria Marcella. TM probably getting some spillover from the closure I'll bet.SRV1990 wrote: ↑04 Nov 2024 12:24 pmExcept it isn't on the Hill.Uncle John wrote: ↑04 Nov 2024 10:48 am For four decades, LoRusso’s Restaurant stood as a beloved fixture on the Hill, intertwining itself into the memories and lives of everyone who passed through its doors.

Your STL Mag says it started on Hampton before moving to Luigi's spot(I loved Luigi's too), do you remember where that was? TM moved into the old Ron & Shirley's, wasn't too fond of them.SRV1990 wrote: ↑04 Nov 2024 12:24 pmExcept it isn't on the Hill.Uncle John wrote: ↑04 Nov 2024 10:48 am For four decades, LoRusso’s Restaurant stood as a beloved fixture on the Hill, intertwining itself into the memories and lives of everyone who passed through its doors.

They were in that little strip called Hampton Plaza, at Hampton and Potomac. I believe where Knead Bakehouse is now is where LoRusso's started.rob'em wrote: ↑16 Nov 2024 12:41 pmYour STL Mag says it started on Hampton before moving to Luigi's spot(I loved Luigi's too), do you remember where that was?
