I used to work at the TAT in my early 20's. It was a great place to work. I was treated like family.

I loved going to TAT, their food was the best Italian, went there for decades. However, the last time I was there we did not feel safe on the parking lot or area, which is so sad.

I drove my family from Dayton to Cols one time about 1990 to experience TAT pizza. The restaurant was full service. Marianne was helping her dad manage the front house. Marianne had on a skin-tight chartreuse body suit and was effervescent with the customers who all had their eyes bugged out of our heads. I tried and failed to hide my wolfish eyes like something out of a cartoon. Her father and my wife gave me the evil eye. Couldn't go back there any more.
