About Us
About your host, Robert
My name is Robert Agrippino I was born and still live here in this unique neighborhood Little Italy in Boston’s North End 60 years ago. I will take you back in time to when the neighborhood was just 99 % Italian. You will learn about all the changes that have taken place and the gentrification that started happening in the late 70s.
I grew up taking my first job as a dishwasher in one of our local restaurants and then becoming a busboy a waiter and learned the restaurant business from a couple of Italian immigrants and going on to opening my own restaurants. I know all the best establishments.
