Neighborhood Italian Restaurant- Joseph Gigante
Joseph Gigante shares a quick story about his Grandparents Ciro and Anna Gigante and their restaurant on Taylor Street.
My Grandfather Ciro Gigante and Grandmother Anna opened a neighborhood Italian restaurant in the old Italian neighborhood in Chicago on Taylor Street.
My Grandfather was a wonderful chef.
He once cooked for the great Enrique Caruso - the opera tenor.
It was during Lent— he made him a sea food dish shaped like a boat made of all different types of seafood.
Caruso was so impressed he gave my Grandfather free pass to the opera.
