History
Lucy's Cafe was founded by sisters Josephine Fromboluti and Lucia Santoro, after their immigration from Italy. Mary Tatangelo, daughter of Fromboluti, ran the restaurant for the bulk of its history. She shared ownership with sons Tony Tatangelo and Robert Tatangelo in the 1970s and '80s. While Mary Tatangelo continued to remain active in the family business she built, Tony Tatangelo was the sole proprietor of Lucy's Cafe from 1989 until its closing in 2007.
Celebrities such as Joe Paterno, Micheal Bolton, Jim Kelly, Lynn Swann, and many more frequented Lucy's Cafe throughout the years. The restaurant also was visited annually by players and coaches of the Big 33 Football Classic.
