Constance “Connie” Damico: a wife, mom, sister, aunt, friend, but most importantly, our grandma.

Yesterday, we lost the heart of our family. To know Connie was to love Connie. Our most favorite memories are with Grandma Connie, filled with laughter, warmth, and of course, the best stuffed artichokes known to mankind (IYKYK).

She showed her love in the little things, like planting our flowers at the restaurant every year, and in the big things, like the way she made everyone feel so deeply cared for. She loved to love, loved to smile, and gave more of herself than anyone we know. She shaped us into who we are, and we will carry that with us forever.

Our hearts are broken, but we find peace knowing she is back home with her beloved Sonny.

We love you forever, Grandma. We will miss you more than words can ever express🪽

Almost 37 years in business.
34 years without a single break-in.

Three break-ins in the last year alone.

Frank sat down with WGN to talk about what’s happening across the city and how it’s affecting long-standing family businesses like ours.

We refuse to let it define us. We’ll continue to serve, gather, celebrate, and show up for our community — just like we always have.

Thank you for your continued support. It means more than you know.
