Maria and Vincenzo Lamanna established the Isle of Capri in the spring of 1955. After many, many years in business you still feel the warm and family friendly atmosphere you felt in the beginning. Maria and Vincenzo came to the United States from Calabria in 1937 and began their venture, a gourmet delicatessen located on East 59th Street called Lamanna Importers , in the late 1940s. Together with Gloria and Jane, they worked hard and took pride in selling imported delicacies. In 1955, they decided to take on another venture, and started the Isle of Capri Restaurant along with a partner from Capri, and this is where the name comes from. After a few months, Vincenzo assumed sole ownership of the restaurant. With the passing of Vincenzo in 1990 and Mamma in 1993, the tradition still continues with their daughters and co-owners, Gloria and Jane.
