Miraldi's (Miraldi Brothers) Cafe

Circa 1910 - 1915

A photograph of Miraldi's (Miraldi Brother) Cafe at 836 Broadway in Lorain, Ohio.

Founded by John Miraldi, the restaurant was owned by the Miraldi family until 1957. A succession of owners operated the restaurant under the same name until 1986, when the restaurant closed. The restaurant specialized in Italian cuisine.

The person in the doorway is not identified, but is possibly John Miraldi or another member of the Miraldi family.

Signs advertising Lorain Bock Beer hang in the store windows.

The photographer is not known. The photograph was likely taken sometime between 1910 and 1915.
