My sincere condolences to the Mazzarino Family. I worked for Al and Tina at their Sherman oaks restaurant in the 1970s, as well as my brother. I wish I could have said goodbye! She was one of the most special persons I ever met in my life! I still hear her saying "Son-of-a-gunya in my head! RIP Mrs. Mazzarino! Hi to Vito. (and Mr. Mazzarino aka Al)

Lisa and Jo Bernstein from Cantaloupe Ave. in Van Nuys wish to send their sympathy to Millie, Vito and Marie. We have fond memories of the Mazzarino family and our time were growing up next door to them. We were sorry to read in Tina's obituary that Al, and especially John (Johnny to us,) have also passed.
