Piccolo's - Omaha, Nebraska
When Joseph Piccolo arrived in Omaha in 1909 from his native Sicily,he bought an old blacksmith shop at 2202 S. 20th Street. In 1922,he turned that property into a grocery store, then a beer garden and finally in 1934, with son Anthony in charge,Piccolo Pete's Restaurant. The name was shortened to Piccolo's.
A family photograph of Anthony Piccolo inspired the landmark sign of a piccolo player that still hangs over the front door.
Piccolo's was one of two longtime family-owned steakhouses - Gorat's remains the other - that billionaire investor Warren Buffet recommended to Berkshire Hathaway convention goers. Buffet was a longtime customer and really enjoyed their famous root beer floats.
Piccolo's closed New Year's Eve 2015 after 81 years as one of Omaha's finest Italian steakhouses. Omaha,Nebraska. 6.15.2017
