A Note From Tommy's: Restaurant Celebrates 40th Anniversary

The Friends of Coventry Village Facebook page posted this note from owner Tommy Fello about the Cleveland Heights restaurant's 40th anniversary:

Would like to take a minute of your time to say THANK YOU to all my loyal customers and employees.

This Saturday 1-14-12, we will celebrate Tommy's 40th year anniversary. 

You have supported Tommy's through its relocations, fiires, electric outages, in good times and troubled times. We have grown in many ways together. You have allowed me to enjoy 40 years of an amazing life doing what I love to do, serving and working with all of you.

I especially would like to thank my mom and dad for their encouragement at age 19 to "give it a try." My sister Anita and brother Tim for thier continued hard work and support. To all the long time friends/employees who give it their all everyday at work to make Tommy's the best that it can be, not because they have to, but because they care. Your love for what you do makes Tommy's the very special place it has become to so many of our extended Tommy's family.

Thank you to Marc Siegal our friend/lifetime produce supplier and all the local vendors who supply Tommy's with all the ingredients to make our menu items the freshest and healthiest they can be. Thanks to Lisa and AJ who take those ingredients and create delicious specials and desserts. Thanks to Flower Clown who brings out the kid in all of us and Sheila our greenthumbed gardener, Dennis and Josh our Mr. Fixit's and Don who keeps us on the correct financial path. We truly work as an amazing team. I am thankful for the best location in the nation, Coventry Village, Cleveland Heights, surrounded by dedicated independently owned and operated businesses, museums, schools, talented artists, professionals and outstanding families.

Most of all I want to thank my loving beautiful wife Cindy and my lovely daughters Stephanie, Lindsay, Kelsey, Kalle and Delaney. I could not have made it a day without all your love and support. I am truly a lucky man. I realize times are rough out there for many families and individuals. I am especially grateful that you continue to choose Tommy's for your family get togethers, business events or favorite menu item.

Please stay in touch. I will be posting specials and promotions throughout the year on Facebook and Twitter. I hope this Saturday marks the beginning of many more years of outstanding, incredible health and happiness to all of our extended Tommy's Family.

Thank You, 

Tommy
