| Mr.
Migliucci told us that his family had entered the restaurant field
more than 80 years ago, by way of Cairo. "My grandparents left
Naples with my father in the early 1900's and opened the first Italian
restaurant ever to open in Egypt," he said. "It was a
success but my father became restless and decided to come to America.
When my grandfather died, my grandmother came too and the three of us
opened Mario's on the same site where it stands today. It was
much smaller, of course, and I was very little. I remember I had
to stand on Coca-Cola boxes in the kitchen to make pizza. |
