LOCKPORT, N.Y. — After scaling back dine-in service during the pandemic, a longtime Italian restaurant in Lockport is expanding its dining room.
Molinaro’s Ristorante is building a 700-square-foot addition to the 3,000-square-foot restaurant that has been in operation at 90 Walnut St. since 1996. The addition replaces a patio, though outdoor dining could return in a different format next year.
