About
However, by the time they opened the doors that fall; it was a full-bore honest- to- goodness red-checked tablecloth Italian restaurant. Seems that while the boys worked on their speakeasy, Dorothy McCullough Lee was elected mayor and declared war on speakeasies featuring wine, women, song and gambling. So, it's due to a mayor's election that Portland's oldest and best Italian restaurant became Caro Amico, an Italian Café instead of an outside-the-law gin mill. Fred and Joe were the first to introduce honest-to-goodness authentic pizza pie to Portland. Sure, the Italian Madri and Nonne in the Lair Hill Neighborhood served pizza to their families, but to the rest of 1949 Portland, pizza was still an exotic foreign food.
