Name of the Old Italian restaurant out by the AU airport / Hilton garden inn? Probably has closed since 1999-2005 time frame….

Provinos was originally on Opelika Rd near Wood You (across from Gentry/Ware Motors) before it moved.

I worked there around ‘95-‘97 time frame - now I feel old.

Funniest thing I ever saw (among many) was a dude proposing to his girl and he wanted the ring to be hidden in the bowl of bread with all of the garlic butter poured over the top.

Provino’s. It’s now Vinditori’s or however it’s spelled. Food is practically the same.

They have a Provinos in Kennesaw. Same group owned the Auburn location. Still get your meal free on your birthday too. Also, still best to wait 10 minutes after paying to see how it hits before getting behind the wheel

They were the ones that brought you soft garlic rolls that had been bobbing in melted butter?
