Amatos Moves on
For 45 years, the Amato family has served Omaha like a member of the family. Their plans to retire and spend more time with their family changed with the passing of Sam in July of 2017. While the family has enjoyed serving Omaha, the time has come to step away from the restaurant. There is still time to make a few more memories with the Amatos, but your final day to dine will be Sunday, June 23rd. If you’re interested in taking some of the memories to-go, visit the restaurant’s auction site at https://www.auctionsolutionsinc.com/?fbclid=IwAR1A10r1kcwSeR_dwtGQ7nTXiTjOjaEHxQ_LT58-pxzWdRDqYzdWxs5S53I

While the owners of Izmir Gyro House at 1503 Galvan Rd had hoped to rebuild after flood damage forced their May closure, it is not to be. Officials have ruled their part of the complex a total loss, and demolition begins soon. Izmir owners are looking for a new place to open, and loyal customers are urged not to give up hope.
