DaVinci's was my family's go-to place for a special family dinner out on the town.
A few other places from the 70s-80s that carry strong nostalgia include Greco's at Park & 6th (amazing Greek food--best ever), the Pizza Pub along 6th near campus (still my favorite ever pizza 40 years later), the original Gordo's at Broadway & Kolb (cheap, tasty buffet & the $1.99 chimi special), the Solarium (beautiful interior/architecture and quality food), and the Hidden Valley Inn (teriyaki steak & free meal on your birthday). I also miss Broadway Cafe (Broadway & Columbus) for 24-hour eats in a 50s atmosphere, Sambo's (racist logo but a fun diner), and quite a few others. Too many chains in Tucson now. It's worth seeking out and supporting the local joints.
