Does anyone remember a restaurant from the 40s and 50s called Longo's? My parents were friends of the owners and I still use the marinara sauce recipe to this day.

Longo's was a spaghetti house located on East Third St. - between Keowee and Linden. It was a family owned restaurant. They were a big advertiser in HS football programs and UD programs. I have a menu from the 1950's.

It looks like the building that once housed Longo's is long gone. There is no 1301 East Third Street anymore!

JeffN, I haven't seen the recipe yet. If you sent it it may have gotten in the bulk message "Delete" part. If you sent it just mark it as " Longo's recipe" so I don't delete it by mistake. Thank you very much. I'm anxious to try it after all this time.

I have a xerox from Longos ad in the city directory. Its pretty funny, actually. "Where the famous people and movie stars eat in Dayton", with a small pix of the restuarant and the owner.

There was also a Longo's Twinkle Inn at the corner of St. Charles and Glen Rd (now John Glenn Rd.) where John Glenn meets Linden Ave. It was bulit sometime in the mid 50's.
