Restaurants come and go, but not these classics. These family-owned restaurants were built to last and they survive still because of the love and dedication of their proprietors -- who either continue to own them, or have their descendants own them, no matter how many years have passed. Many of them showcase the food of the family’s home country and some of them were built just so they could be passed down for generations. If you want something with history or something of quality, your search ends here. These are the special places that are carrying on grandma’s recipe.
