Founder of Italian Dining Classic Salvatore Scallopini Dies at 82 - Eater Detroit
"Perhaps his most important contribution to the local restaurant industry was Italian restaurant chain Salvatore Scallopini. Bongiovanni founded the original restaurant in 1982 in Madison Heights and went on to open many more locations throughout metro Detroit and a location in Indianapolis. The restaurants served traditional American Italian fare and became mainstays in the communities where they opened." - Brenna Houck
