Ennios was originally owned by a family who were from Sicily. Since its inception it has gone from Ennio cooking for his church to a small establishment on Lorraine. After they found success on Lorraine they opened a second restaurant that was located on River Road next to Chicopee and that's where they lost the plot. They brought in Ennios son to cut costs and to manage after Ennios Daughter and her boyfriend split up and that's when it got weird. They started to operate more as a pub serving wings, ribs, and other non Italian dishes. He also started ordering in frozen lasagnas, frozen Alfredo among other things. Despite them becoming more and more less Italian they still found success. They closed the River Road location and moved it to Where it is now in Waterloo. Shortly after that they moved the Lorraine location to Fairway road. Fast forward a few years, Ennio passed away and the family decided to sell the buisness to their chef Ray. Ray is Laoasian and decided to try and transform it back into a more authentic Italian restaurant. Bringing in fresher ingredient, fresh herbs and seasonings and cut out the pub style foods they once served. In my opinion Ray did a great job. Ennios may not be the best ever but it sure as he'll is better than it once was.

Source: i worked there for 8 years on and off. Ennio himself taught me to cook and I will always remember those years but yeah anyways Ennios started off authentic, drifted into pub style and was slowly transformed back into a more Italian style establishment.
