Old-school Bay Area Italian restaurant closing after 42 years
Briefly

Mac's Old House, a beloved Italian restaurant in Antioch, is set to close after 42 years, with its final service day on June 22. Originally opened in 1983, it took inspiration from the Bertola's restaurant chain. The closure announcement highlighted gratitude towards loyal customers and staff. The restaurant's rich history is intertwined with original owner Floyd "Mac" McKinney, who significantly shaped its character and spirit. Despite weathering economic downturns and changing times, Mac's Old House maintained a strong connection to the community throughout its long tenure.
"We have weathered recessions, a pandemic, and ever-changing times, and through it all, we have been fortunate to serve this community. We could not have done it without our loyal customers and our dedicated staff."
"Instead of changing the restaurant's name to Bertola's, they decided to keep it as Mac's Old House, two reasons being because they loved the beautiful neon sign and because they came to know and love Mac himself."
