Closing After 127 Years
One of the most iconic restaurants in Detroit will be closing it’s doors after 127 years.
Roma Café, the long-time Italian restaurant in Detroit’s Eastern Market has closed.
The current owner Janet Sossi Belcoure told the Free Press that she informed employees on Wednesday that she would be retiring. “It’s a very emotional day for me but the choice was close the door or breathe new life into it”
Guy Pelino, Roma Café’s chef of 3 years, will be leasing the space and renovating the restaurant with hopes of re-opening by Labor Day. Guy says that most of the classic dishes will remain on the menu and his main goal is keeping everyone happy.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
