Description: NEW YORK CITY - Oreste Giolito Roman Gardens: It turns out that there were at least three restaurants within a few blocks of each other in New York City in the Twenties that were seemingly all owned by Giolito brothers, and with similar sounding names: Giolito's Cedar Garden, Giolito's Venetian Garden and Giolito's Roman Garden. There was also Old Giolito's and Giolito Bros. According to his obit in The New York Times, Oreste Giolito – or O. Giolito – was born in Turin, Italy and went to London as a youth and became head waiter at the famous Romano's Restaurant there. Other files show that he also started at least one restaurant while in London. He emigrated to New York at 22 and opened a business on Coney Island before starting Roman Garden in 1908, which, the Times said, "became one of the best known restaurants of its type in the city." He died Aug. 31, 1934. This White Border Era postcard, mailed in 1937 when phone in New York City only had 6 digits, is in good condition, but there is some edge wear. EC Kropp Co., Milwaukee. No. 3793.
