Request #288 From The Pilkingtons

I’ve been searching for a book I read aged about 8 in 1990 it’s a bit younger that YA. There is a young boy called Joe. Joe helps his family who own an italian restaurant. He has an aunt Maria.  He meets an old lady who lives inside an old broken traditional carousel. The old lady dies and the family end up making the carousel part of the restaurant. Absolutely no idea what it’s called or who wrote it but how want to share with my own 7 year old
