Festa Italiana pays tribute to Joe Bartolotta

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- There was a special tribute held Saturday.

Late restaurateur Joe Bartolotta was remembered at Festa Italiana.

A toast was offered by chefs from Bartolotta restaurants. 

A woman who worked with Joe often had positive things to say about his legacy.

"Joe cared about other people first, when you do that ..it's like he had an aura around him, people just kinda clung to him and if there was any kinda problem, you go to Joe, he would have it solved."

Bartolotta died unexpectedly earlier this year at the age of 60.
