1980 JoAnna Filomena moved from New York City back to Washington, DC to be closer to her family and her aging mother, Filomena. Having come New York, JoAnna decided to take some time off and spend more time enjoying the company of her friends and family in the Washington area.
1980 JoAnna Filomena moved from New York City back to Washington, DC to be closer to her family and her aging mother, Filomena. Having come New York, JoAnna decided to take some time off and spend more time enjoying the company of her friends and family in the Washington area. After spending a few weeks dining out in Washington, JoAnna realized that she didn't really find any restaurants that offered more than a short meal with unmemorable atmosphere and service within the Washington area. JoAnna also quickly realized that she wasn't really quite ready to have so much time on her hands and saw a need for an Italian restaurant of the style that she had come to know in New York — a place where dinner was more than just a meal and a trip home.
