Founded in the 1930s by Vito ( "Bunky" ) and Ninfa Capadona, Bunky's was one of the first Italian restaurants in Madison. It was originally located on the corner of Park and Regent Streets in the city's Italian-American Greenbush neighborhood. ( Bunky's was one of three restaurants that made up "Spaghetti Corner." ) Through the late 1960s Bunky's was the place to go for a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, and later one of the first Madison restaurants to serve pizza. In the late 1970s the original Bunky's was torn down and replaced with Pino's Restaurant and Bunky's Nightclub. Bunky's became the hot spot to see live music. This business was open through the early 1980s.
