ok, I have been watching the show since the 80's, but I have no idea who dave is!? Help me jog my memory. I did a yahoo search on him and found his picture, but still, no idea who he is.

Dave was the Maitre'D at Tuscany. At least that is what tvmegasite.net/day/days/characters/recurring.htm says. I personally do not remember him. Hope this helps

Dave was the waiter and host at Doug's Place, Blondie's, and Wings for many years and practically ran the clubs. Don Frabotta played him from 1973-1993 and again in 2001.
