What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Geraci's Restaurant in Willoughby, Ohio, in the episode "Legacies," which aired 2009-11-16. The segment centered on the restaurant's Italian menu and its long-running, family-operated storefront in Willoughby's historic downtown. Geraci's Restaurant has since grown into a small local chain, with additional locations in Mayfield Village, Pepper Pike, and University Heights, Ohio, alongside the original Historic Willoughby address at 4127 Erie Street. A Yelp listing for the Willoughby location, updated in July 2026, shows continuing customer reviews and photos. Geraci's own website, geracisrestaurant.com, lists the same address and phone number, (440) 220-6347, and links an online ordering page for the Historic Willoughby location through Toast. No dated reporting of a closure or relocation appeared in the available evidence.
