Olla OllaPA nostalgic reader with a foggy memory asks the question:

I am searching for the name of an Italian restaurant that was in the Olla Podrida mall area back in the 80’s and 90’s.  I have searched the web but have had no success.  I am hoping someone in your organization will have archived info regarding closed restaurants.  I sincerely hop you will be able to assist.  Thank you in advance for your response.

Oh, Olla Podrida. The quaint, two-story arts and craft-style shopping center on Coit Road near Forest. I remember when it opened (1971). The only restaurant I recall is The Upper Crust. Looks like a bunch of people miss Olla Podrida. There is an I Miss Olla Podrida Mall Facebook page.
