For more than three decades, Merlino's Steakhouse has been a familiar sight to locals and vacationers alike. Starting out in the early Forties as a gas station, the business later changed to a restaurant with the opening of "Old King Cole's," a classic burger and ice cream drive-in. In 1967, my mother and father, Audrey and Dick Luciano, became the new owners. We had little knowledge of the restaurant business but a healthy workforce of eight children. With the help of a few good recipes from Aunt Flo Zeoli, we soon had a prosperous family business that even today remains an independently owned and family operated restaurant. Our mascot cow, which tops our exterior sign, has become a popular landmark in Mt. Washington Valley. In 1978, I took over management of the restaurant. Since that time, my wife and I have added a cozy lounge and moonlit greenhouse dining area. Our second story function room has become a popular meeting place for groups and events. And our location, in the center of dozens of factory outlets, has made us one of the most popular lunch spots in town. Thank you for joining us, and we look forward to seeing you soon. -Rick and Sherry Luciano.
