The passing of a legend and a friend...

We wanted to express our love for Dolly Parton, so we looked in the archives to shocase some very special memories. Seen here are Dolly Parton with Uncle Mikey and Bobby at another of our family's restaurant, the famous Matteo's! Images were taken in the 1980s when Dolly was a long time guest. She was extremely loving, kind, and supportive. She was a dear friend of Uncle Mikey and she would always have dinner with him whenever she was visiting Los Angeles.

We will miss her dearly, she always made us feel like family. ❤️
