Does anyone remember Schaivi's Restaurant, located on the south side of 8 Mile between Schoenner and Gratiot. In the 60's it was a somewhat classy place and specialized in Italian food. I used to love being seated in the basement dining room. As a boy it seemed mysterious to me. |

I ate there just a couple of times before it closed.The building became some sort of cheesy retail store but now it's vacant. |

Never ate there but my boss sent me there to pick up take out steak dinners on several occasions (early 70s)...always thought it was a classy place. |

Had a memorable Irish wake there, for my grandfather, years ago. First time, at age nine or ten, that I saw my uncles after more than a few drinks. Didn't like it.
But it was the best Irish spaghetti I have ever tasted. |
