"While it can be exciting to score reservations at the hottest, trendiest new restaurant in the city, there's a lot to be said about going old-school, too. In fact, we'd argue that getting the chance to dine at restaurants that have been around for decades is the better way to spend an evening with the history buff in your life. Did you know that the world's oldest Italian restaurant has been serving pasta for more than 500 years?"
"America is an infant compared to other countries, but it has some century-old restaurants that are still serving up incredible food. So, we wanted to put together a list recommending the best of America's oldest restaurants. In order to make the cut, these places needed to be more than a century old, be highly rated by customers, and also maintain a sense of honoring and embracing the decades of history within the walls."
"When we here at Tasting Table took a look at the best sushi restaurants in Seattle, Maneki was - of course - on the list. While this Seattle hotspot first opened in 1904, it hasn't been operating continuously for a heartbreaking reason. During World War II, around 120,000 Japanese citizens and immigrants were forced to leave their entire lives behind for confinement in internment camps, and that included those running Maneki."
The world's oldest Italian restaurant in Rome has served pasta for more than 500 years. A Spanish restaurant frequented by Ernest Hemingway is noted among the oldest globally. The restaurant business is notoriously difficult, making long survival notable. America has century-old restaurants, some even older, that still serve remarkable food. Selection criteria required establishments to be over a century old, highly rated by customers, and to honor decades of history within their walls. Maneki in Seattle first opened in 1904, closed during World War II when Japanese owners were forced into internment and its original building was destroyed, then reopened post-war and continues to operate.
