I am so sorry to hear about Guido's passing. We were in High School together and I remember well the restaurant on Augusta Road! It was there that the first "Pizza" was served in Greenville if my memory is correct. Guido was a very fine person! Eloise

Some of my fondest memories when I moved to Greenville were evenings at Capris Stone Ave flipping through the music mostly Motown and having eggplant or chicken parm.
