Joseph Mittino's Shangri-La opened in 1940 at 6600 Chippewa. "The Club Beautiful" offered fine food and dancing nightly. In 1946, you could get a deluxe steak dinner for $2.75, and enjoy Grace Niggli at the organ. It was later known as Parente's Italian Village, then as Saro's Sunny Italy, and is now Garavelli's.
