"Casa Colombo is a detailed history of the Italian experience in Jersey City. The book depicts how one building and the dedicated people behind it for decades have had such a significant positive impact on the lives of so many. A very informative and uplifting read"

"What a delightful read! Melissa Dulebohn has written a wonderful account of Casa Colombo. It will bring back warm memories to anyone who has any association with the neighborhood. She chronicles the history of the building through the events and the people who passed through its doors. Her descriptions are vivid and well supported by the illustrations.
