Rosie’s Italian Grille Offers Toledoans a Sanctuary to Remember the Late Musician, Prince

Rosie’s Italian Grille offers Toledoans a sanctuary to remember the late musician, Prince. Phil Barone, owner of the Italian eatery, was inspired by Prince’s 1984 film Purple Rain. When the pop icon died on April 21, Barone created a touching tribute to the late singer with a plaque is positioned above a koi pond surrounded by purple petunias. “As the petunias grow… the rain cascades down— becoming Purple Rain.” Also enjoy a house specialty Purple Rain handcrafted cocktail.
