A little before 2 o’clock New Year’s Eve 2019, the “We are closed” sign went up on the front door at Salvania’s on Jackson street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two pots of sauce Roxanne cooked up the day before were gone, there was only a half a loaf of bread left and a half a holiday cranberry\/apple pie along with some ham and turkey for subs and a few burgers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a bittersweet moment for Laura and Roxanne Salvania who have served Italian favorites to the community since 1981.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I don’t have a piece of pasta or a drop of sauce left,” says Laura Salvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the announcement was made that Salvania’s was closing, many people have come in to share a last plate of sauce, and say goodbye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I love that everyone is here, it made my day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Its been a day of hugging and crying, its hard to talk about.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sisters bought the business from Joe and Lena Frederico in 1981.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their parents Rose and Ralph started helping at the restaurant in 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My mother baked all the pies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You know how these old Italians are, never say never, keep a going, keep a going.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura plans on continuing her catering business, while Roxanne is looking forward to cooking for the kids at the John Kennedy school cafeteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
