In the spring of 1956, Mama and Papa DiCicco and their four sons opened the original DiCicco’s restaurant in Fresno, California. The four brothers, Nicola, Alberto, Frank, and Roberto would open the doors 7 days a week as the family worked together, singing Italian songs and tossing pizzas.
DiCicco’s quickly became known as the place to go for great Italian food, family fun, and authentic atmosphere. Over the years, members of the DiCicco’s family have opened 19 restaurants across California’s central valley, many of which are independently owned and operated.
Our newest location in Escondido is looking forward to carrying on the DiCicco’s tradition of serving great Italian comfort food in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
