Sermolino, Maria.

Papa's Table D'Hote.

New York: J.B. Lippincott, 1952.

Octavo, 253 pages. First edition. A charming portrait of the Sermolino family and their famous Greenwich Village Italian restaurant, Gonfarone's. Written by the daughter of the founders of the restaurant, Anacleta and Vittorio Sermolino. The restaurant stood on West Eighth Street from its founding in 1900, until Papa Sermolino closed the restaurant in disgust with the advent of Prohibition. Very good in publisher's black and yellow cloth, in a lightly edgeworn and faded, but near very good, unclipped dust jacket.
