    All I can remember is that we had the crabbiest waitress on record there. Food wasn't so hot either.
    Anyone else have any memories of this place? Where was it located, when did it close etc.

    I'm a bit puzzled as to why you're wanting to relive this memory...

    No message inside. That is, what he wanted to say was in the subject.

    But of course this isn't email, or usenet, or a threaded board, so it doesn't make much sense to use it here.

    to convince myself it really happened


    Okay, I have a few like that too.

    Any idea when this was, or what part of town?

    There is, apparently, a restaurant in Bonita Springs, FL named "Two Guys From Sicily".

    Maybe the OP is lost.

    I remember, but I was very young when it was open. I believed the name was "Two Guys From Sicily" and was located on Irving Park Rd 3 or 4 blocks west of Harlem in Norridge.

    I remember it, but I never ate there. The place I'm speaking of was simply Guys (or Guy's) from Sicily. On the near north side somewhere, I'm thinking. Fullerton? Irving Park? Not sure; I was only there once in 1981. An elderly Italian gentleman who must've been a regular got up and sang Italian street songs.

    There was a place called Two Guys From Italy up in Highwood in the 70s and 80s (I guess it might still be up there, I haven't been in years). My wife and I had our first date there back in 1978. The food, as I recall was pretty good. Of course I was only 19 years old and what didn't taste good at that point in my life?

    No familiarity with Two Guys From Sicily, sorry.

    Two Guys from Italy closed within the last 2-3 years. It is now home to the Curry Hut Indian restaurant and a pizza place.
