The closing of MOM Restaurant in Verona is the sad end of an era of support and service to our community.
MOM was a gathering place for friends and families; a place for celebrations and support; a place to gather after church; a place for travellers to enjoy great food and a get a sense of our community.
As a councillor, the back room was a quiet spot to meet privately with my constituency. It was the gathering spot for our ROMEO Club (Retired Old Men Eating Out). It was morning breakfast for dozens of us for decades.
Peter Doulas, his family, Louise and the rest of the terrific staff knew us by name and remembered how we liked our coffee.
If there was a team that needed shirts, Peter was there. Soup on Remembrance Day was a MOM affair. They donated to every community need from festivals to tragedies.
Thank you ‘Mothers Own Method’ for being the symbol of what a restaurant means to a community.
