Yes, this is ‘the’ fabled Sicilian immigrant Maceo Family which brought world class entertainment and gambling to the Island in the early 20thcentury, with the Balinese Room out over the Gulf, and several other upscale restaurants with gaming in the back. Ron and daughter Connie (Concetta) Maceo run this cozy, well-worn little place, and while you are enjoying lunch, a who’s who of Galveston may well pass through, casually dressed. In addition to the menu below, there are often delicious other specials such as Italian meatballs or seafood gumbo-ask what is ‘off the menu’. The Maceo family blends and packages their own label spices ranging from their special seafood seasoning to herbes de Provence. In addition, while waiting for your sandwich, you may shop for many other gourmet Italian items from sauces to tapenade to escargots to a wide variety of pastas, olives, olive oils, and many other things rarely available in regular markets. On the checkout counter are fascinating books for sale on the history of the family, and on the history of Galveston Island.
