Title: DELICIOUS SEAFOODS ONLY At ANTHONY'S. Anthony's Fish Grotto "By the Sea". San Diego and La Jolla
Description: [San Diego]: [Anthony's Fish Grotto], 1959. Yellow coated paper printed in brown, white and green. Bifolium. 11" x 9-1/2" An uncommon early menu from Anthony's Fish Grotto, with b/w photographic vignettes of Catherine "Mama" Ghio, her two sons, Anthony and Tod, and her son-in-law, Roy Weber to the front. Catherine opened the restaurant in 1946, when she was in her fifties and a widowed mother of three. It soon became a landmark of the city's cuisine, opening several other locations and moving to its most well-known location on waterfront in the 1960s. After over 70 years of business, the San Diego restaurant closed in 2017 when its lease with the city expired; its La Mesa location is still operating. Light wear to edges with small split to foot of fold; ; minor soil from handling; two sets of staple punctures to front leaf, with rubbing to verso of rear leaf where staples would have protruded slightly.
