My Hungarian immigrant Grandfather Mike Kurta Sr. built Vinsetta Garage in 1919. My Dad and his siblings were raised in an apartment in the back of the building, and many members of my family and I worked there throughout the years. My Dad ran it until selling the business in the 1990s. Our family is delighted at this good news!
"The vintage Vinsetta Garage on Woodward Avenue in Berkley will be reborn next spring as a restaurant serving "great, big, comfort food," says Clarkston restaurateur and co-owner Curt Catallo. But admirers of the old garage, built in 1919, should have no fear that its historic look will be lost. The outside won't be changed, other than possibly stripping the paint off the bricks, and the "raw industrial vibe" of the interior will be scrupulously preserved, says Catallo, whose wife, Ann Stevenson, is designing the project."

This is awesome! It's going to be great to go there! Also, they will need cheese for that mac & cheese---full circle?
Sounds like they are keeping the name and the neon signage, too. If the Vinsetta Garage restuarant is anything like Catallo's other restaurants, it ought to be excellent!
