Joe and Bette Troia, Rose McCormick's brother and sister-in-law, opened Paisan's with Roy and Rose McCormick; about 1952 Joe bought the Italian Village from his uncle Matt Lombardino, and the McCormicks became sole owners of Paisan's.
A Troia's Steak House advertised at 661 State St., next to the Italian Village, in 1964. In 1983 Joe Troia published a cookbook, "Joe Troia's Specialties," after more than 35 years in the food business.
Troia's Steak House, 661 State St., run by Joe Troia with live music, was advertising by December 1961. Around 1981 he managed the Capitol Hill Supper Club, 5164 Verona Road (ad of March 4, 1981), the supper club near the Highlander Motel that a Facebook commenter remembered.
