California: Biba Restaurant
Biba Caggiano stepped up the restaurant scene in California when she opened this place 33 years ago. Biba has since gone on to become a successful cookbook author as well as a TV food personality.
Unfortunately, she passed away last August and her family was already having a hard time running the restaurant before the crisis. In early May, they announced that they won’t be reopening again.
