looking for an old Italian restaurant

[CompGeekJTP]

Hi everyone. I am doing some family history research and my father told me that his Uncle Sal owned a well-known Italian restaurant in Copiague back in the 50s and 60s. he doesn't remember the name of it, but he does remember that it was a couple of blocks from the Copiague train station and that they later adding bowling lanes in the same lot. my Uncle's name was Salvatore Perri. does anyone have any recollection of the restaurant?

well now adays it would be called... el spico or "polacks r Us" in that area!

I am not sure of the restaurants name but it was owned by the Prisco family.

Around what years did the Prisco family own this place? Do you remember any first names?

There is a new book coming out next "Intimate Portraits of Old Copiague by Angelo Vacca Jr. You can buy a copy a week from this Saturday at the Copiague library. I think it will help you with some of the answers you are looking for.
