We're Celebrating the 50 Year Anniversary of DeRosa Corporation.
Cheers to you, Joe!
In 1972, Joseph DeRosa opened the first Chancery Pub & Restaurant on Highway 20 in Racine, Wisconsin. The atmosphere was friendly and fun, characterized by the stained-glass tiffanies, copper bar, and peanut shells on the floor. Encouraged by the success of the first restaurant and the urging of Chancery customers, Joe built seven more Chancery locations from 1975-1998. Each of these restaurants was unique in decor and personality.
Over the past 50 years, the DeRosa Corporation grew to include eight Chancery Restaurants (casual dining), Port Washington's Smith Brothers Restaurant and Brewery, Eddie Martini's (a 1940's-styled supper club), four Jose's Blue Sombrero restaurants (Mexican Fusion restaurants), Seven Sisters Cafe and Cafe West (business industry contract feeding operation located in the Wauwatosa Children's Hospital Complex) and ParkSide 23 (a farm to table upscale casual dining restaurant).
