What does it really take to build something that lasts generations? ❤️
In Part 2 of I’ll Get The Tip, we go beyond the food and into the heart behind D’Amelio’s Italian Eatery in Waterbury, CT.
This episode dives into the story of two brothers, their Italian immigrant parents, and the values that built a restaurant that’s been serving the community for over 40 years. From working in factories to owning a family business at just 18 years old, this is the American dream — told through food, family, and tradition.
And don’t miss the unforgettable story of their mom and “the pinch of salt” — a perfect example of how recipes, passion, and culture are passed down through generations.
