From Ellis Island to Clearwater
Family dining and hospitality is a tradition in Greece as old as history itself. In 1952, after a two-week cross-Atlantic voyage, nineteen-year-old Arthur Alimonos arrived on Ellis Island with empty pockets but dreams full of bringing his homeland's traditions to America.
A New York kitchen, then his own
Rising in prominence among the finest chefs in New York City, he spent years mastering his marinara sauce and pizza crust, till opening a small eatery in Brooklyn in 1956. No longer penniless, he labored tirelessly with the help of his wife Angie, to open restaurants in Hartford, Connecticut; Greenfield, Massachusetts; and Athens, Greece.
The same recipes, on US Hwy 19
Arthur's recipes are still on the menu. The Greek salad has been a house specialty since 1977, the Classic Country pizza has been famous since '77, and the soups are still made daily from scratch.
