Quo Vadis
Date EstablishedLocation1946New York City
Description
Quo Vadis was a fashionable restaurant in New York City located at 26 East 63rd Street near the corner with Madison Avenue and operated from 1946 until 1984. The restaurant was established in 1946 by two Italians, Gino Robusti and Bruno Caravaggi, who met when they were both working in Spa, Belgium. In 1975, restaurant critic, Gael Greene, observed that the quality of its service had declined and some of the dishes were undistinguished. Robusti and Caravaggi retired in 1981 and sold Quo Vadis to Romeo Mattiusi and Bernard Norget but the new owners filed for bankruptcy within two years. Robusti and Caravaggi briefly came out of retirement and resumed operation of the restaurant, but closed it definitively in 1984.

Cruising through many states of America, remnants of eateries of the past can still be found. Travel back to a stage in time with me to rekindle the memories of food franchises and the lost cuisine of bygone days. We can remember the presence of these dining experiences in their heyday long ago, but still etched in moments and recollections.
