They entered the U.S. via NYC and arrived to their final destination, Little Italy, Baltimore on June 23, 1953. Giovanna likes to say “At a time when no one liked to move around, our family traveled 3500 miles and we haven’t moved 200 feet since.” Yes, they came to Little Italy and stayed, and would, in time, create an eclectic Baltimore Italian Restaurant!
