Happy 28th Anniversary!

On March 13, 1987, Clara's open in a strip mall at 6740 S. Rt 53.  On the first day, Clara was in the kitchen with Rudy Jr and Rudy Sr. waiting on customers.   Most of the early staff members were family members and friends of Clara and Rudy  and their children Michelle, Anthony, Rudy Jr. and Mark.  As the restaurant grew in popularity, we added a second dining room and eventually our new home in our own free standing space in Seven Bridges.  The Melchiorre family has been truly blessed to have had so many customers become our "family members".  It has been our pleasure to watch your families grow and to celebrate so many birthdays, graduations, and weddings at Clara's.  Thanks to all of you!

In honor of our 28th anniversary, we have a video of Clara from last June describing how Clara's came to be.  Enjoy!
