The Original Antonio's Ristorante & Bar quietly flipped the lights back on this week in Parma, bringing the Loschiavo family's old‑school recipes home to the Chevrolet Boulevard neighborhood. The dine‑in spot takes over the original Antonio's Pizza site and now fits roughly 80 guests into more than 4,500 square feet of dining room and bar space. Its comeback lands about two years after the Parma location shut its doors, reviving a family name plenty of locals still talk about.
According to Cleveland.com, the Loschiavo family poured about $2 million into the project and built the menu around Grace Loschiavo's originals: lasagna, muffuletta, eggplant, chicken cutlets and veal parmesan. Vince LoSchiavo, Grace's grandson, told the outlet the family "were really adamant about getting it right" as they reworked both the space and the plates. The outlet also notes that the group behind the reopening runs about 18 area restaurants, including other Antonio's locations and neighborhood bars.
The restaurant's own site lists the Chevrolet Boulevard address, hours, dine‑in and takeout menus, plus a reservations link for dinner service, according to Antonio's Original. The broader Antonio's network shows the Parma dining room as "Now Open" and, for now, routes most delivery and takeout orders to nearby Antonio's kitchens while the new space settles in. For menus and reservations, the restaurant points diners to its main site and the Parma page on Antonio's Pizza.
Space and family investment
City planning records list La Famiglia Properties, c/o Fred LoSchiavo, for work at 5722 Chevrolet Boulevard, underscoring the family's direct role in the building project and additions on the site. The filing appears in the planning agenda from the City of Parma and tracks with the restaurant's larger renovation and seating layout. The freestanding building and on‑site lot should keep parking and quick pick‑ups relatively simple for neighborhood diners.
What to expect
The menu leans hard on classic LoSchiavo family dishes, then stretches out with a longer appetizer list, cocktails and wines, plus a carryout pizza option for faster orders, Cleveland.com reports. Vince told the outlet he thinks Grace Loschiavo "would cry tears of joy" seeing her recipes back in circulation in Parma. Guests can lock in a table or place takeout orders through Antonio's Original.
For Parma, the relaunch feels like a local win: a familiar name from the area's dining story returning in a bigger, polished room. The restaurant opened this week for dinner service, and the restaurant's site carries the latest hours, menus and booking details.
