The current location of the restaurant opened in late
June of 1979 … There were lines out the door that snaked down
Columbus Avenue every single weekend for approximately 5- 10 years.
The hostess carried a waitlist around with her so she could take names when people entered from the front and side entrances. The line that went down the block extended in through the double doors in front and in through the side door past the bathrooms and stopped at the counter where the cappuccino machine is. There were many loyal locals and many people who traveled a respectable
distance to eat there. The servers, albeit some of them pretty horrible made mucho $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that does not happen unless a restaurant is busy.
Roma, Lincoln Lounge and Johnny’s were always in the top three and vied for the top spot in Westchester for years, their pizza was legendary.
It may not be what it once was but for the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would want
to take that away from them … their good reputation was earned and deserved.
Like them or not they are still around and a Tuckahoe institution … do you want to keep going
