==History==<br />
In May 1955 Robert Bidgood and James J. Schiavo applied to the Town of Burke for a liquor license at 3115 E. Washington Ave., for the premises "known as Bob's Twin Gables"<ref name="wsj-1955-05-09-p11" />. By June 19 Jimmie Schiavo's was advertising spaghetti and steaks and "Madison's Largest Lazy Susan on Wheels"<ref name="wsj-1955-06-19-p14" />.<br />
<br />
When it closed has not been found. Because the restaurant was outside the city, it does not appear on Madison's license lists. By 1977 James J. and Anthony J. Schiavo held a city license for Bee's Tavern at 1109 S. Park St., the later Antonio's<ref name="wsj-1977-05-25-p38">(1977, May 25). City of Madison license list, May 1977.
