Tony Rome's restaurant on Union Road has been a West Seneca staple for 25 years, so you can imagine the shock when employees and patrons saw the 'closed' sign on the door.

A for sale sign has been posted outside of the restaurant, and a note is posted on the door thanking customers for their many years of patronage.
A former employees, who walks nearly five miles to work every morning, alerted the media to the closing, and said that the owner's never mentioned that the restaurant was closing.

The West Seneca Town Supervisor stated that Tony Rome's closing is bad for the area, because numerous organizations held their monthly meetings at the establishment.
