On this date in 1975, Gina’s Italiano Restaurant advertised its Mother’s Day specials in the Long Beach Independent.
Don’t drive down to the Rossmoor Center to look for Godmother Gina or Lady Chef Sylvia this Sunday. They, the Italiano restaurant, and those 1975 prices aren’t there anymore.

I believe that 12149 Seal Beach Blvd. was the site of Davio’s Italian restaurant from about 1982. Didn’t the building start out as a Taco Bell? And before the remake of Rossmoor Center I vaguely recall that it may have been yet another restaurant but with a Latin American theme.
