I am sorry to hear of your Moms passing. She and your father Frank always made sure I was welcome at Toto's in Daly City , I was happy to visit her a couple of years ago in San Mateo.

Very sorry to hear about Ida's passing. My condolences to her family. I have I have known the Spadarella family, especially Ida and Frank from North Beach to their pizza restaurant in the 50's on Mission Street, SF - then to Daly City etc. They truly made the "best" pizza and Italian food in all of the areas. I enjoyed my conversation with Ida who never lost her spunk and realism - she will surely be missed - RIP sweet lady.
